Meshad Persian Antique Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7310 11'6" × 15'5" $70,000

This exquisite Persian Meshad carpet, woven in the early 20th century, is a testament to the refined artistry of Khorassan’s renowned weaving traditions. Its sand-toned field, gently softened with age, provides a serene backdrop for a dense yet harmonious lattice of botanical motifs—palmettes, rosettes, and flowering tendrils—that evoke a lush Persian garden in quiet bloom.

The floral elements are executed in a sophisticated palette of bone-white, muted sage-green, and delicate ochre, each tone subtly shifting with the light and giving the design both depth and lyrical movement. Enclosing the central field, a midnight-blue border adorned with scrolling vinery and stylized floral forms offers a dignified contrast, framing the composition with visual poise and serenity.

Woven entirely by hand from fine wool, this rug reflects Meshad’s reputation for combining durability with nuanced drawing and color harmony. Its refined structure and atmospheric tones make it more than a majestic floor covering—it is an evocative piece of Persian textile artistry, ready to grace both historical and contemporary interiors with its quiet elegance.
