Antique Meshad Persian Floral Allover Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7316 13'4" × 22'2" $120,000

This magnificent early 20th-century Persian Meshad rug exemplifies the grandeur and refinement for which the city of Mashhad is celebrated. Woven on a monumental scale, the piece showcases a richly detailed all-over pattern of scrolling vines, stylized palmettes, and delicate rosettes, executed with the precision and artistry characteristic of the region’s master weavers.

The palette is a harmonious blend of soft ivory, muted gold, and varying shades of blue—from deep navy accents to gentle sky tones—creating a serene yet striking visual balance. Multiple concentric borders frame the composition, each adorned with intricate floral meanders and geometric guard stripes, culminating in a wide main border that anchors the design with graceful continuity.

With its fine weave, sophisticated drawing, and patina acquired over more than a century, this Meshad rug not only serves as an exceptional decorative statement but also as a remarkable artifact of Persian weaving heritage. Its scale and elegance make it perfectly suited for grand interiors, where it can imbue a space with both history and enduring beauty.
