Antique Meshad Persian Allover Golden Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB3127 10'10" × 15'6" $75,000

This exquisite early 20th-century Persian Meshad rug captures the refined artistry of Khorassan weaving with its timeless balance of pattern and color. The spacious beige field is intricately adorned with a dense array of botehs, their elegant curves rendered in rich tones of rust red, midnight blue, and ivory. The rhythm of these motifs creates a sense of gentle movement across the surface, evoking the flow of wind through a garden.

Framing the composition is a midnight-blue border where botehs intertwine with stylized cypress forms, adding both contrast and harmony. A signature cartouche punctuates the design, testifying to its distinguished origin. Subtle variations in tone, softened through the passage of time, lend the rug a graceful patina that enhances its character.

Woven circa 1900, this Meshad rug embodies both the technical mastery and the poetic sensibility for which the workshops of Khorassan are celebrated. Its enduring elegance makes it not only a remarkable decorative piece but also a testament to the cultural richness of Persian weaving.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
