Antique Meshad Persian Floral Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 BB5111 9'6" × 12'6" $43,000

This exquisite Persian Meshad rug, woven at the turn of the 20th century, embodies the sophistication and grandeur for which Meshad carpets are celebrated. Its expansive field is filled with an elegant all-over pattern of palmettes, flowering vines, and arabesques, rendered in a harmonious palette of muted rose, soft celadon, powder blue, and deep midnight indigo.

The spacious design, framed by a beautifully layered border system, balances large-scale floral medallions with delicate tracery, giving the composition both rhythm and refinement. The border, with its scrolling vines and stylized blossoms, provides a graceful frame that enhances the central field without overwhelming it.

Woven in the renowned workshops of Khorassan, this piece demonstrates the exceptional craftsmanship of Meshad weavers, combining fine wool, subtle dye work, and a sense of grandeur suited to palatial interiors. The naturally aged patina lends warmth and depth to the colors, highlighting the rug’s authenticity and timeless character.

A masterwork of Persian artistry, this antique Meshad rug represents both decorative beauty and historical significance—an ideal choice for collectors and connoisseurs seeking a refined yet versatile carpet.
