Antique Meshad Persian Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB5586 13'0" × 15'1" $43,000

This early 20th-century Meshad (Meshed) rug embodies the refined artistry of northeastern Persia’s weaving tradition. Its structured garden-inspired design is composed of “compartmentalized” panels—each delicately articulated with floral motifs, botanical sprays, and occasional architectural elements—resulting in a tapestry of varied vignettes across the surface.

The color palette is exceptionally harmonious, blending warm rust-blue and deep walnut tones with the softer, time-worn hues of faded brown. A secondary, narrow border of meandering vinery and stylized palmettes encloses the composition, lending both rhythm and definition to the sweeping design.

Meshad rugs, much like this one, are celebrated for their elegant botanical imagery and formalized layout—a style that merges the aesthetic of a Persian garden with a refined architectural sensibility.
