Antique Meshad Persian Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB3360 13'3" × 17'2" $85,000

This early 20th-century Persian Meshad rug is a distinguished example of Khorassan weaving, celebrated for its intricate drawing and harmonious palette. Handwoven in the renowned workshops of Meshad, the rug features a sprawling allover botanical design of palmettes, rosettes, and stylized blossoms connected by a delicate lattice of angular vines. The open, well-balanced composition emphasizes both symmetry and movement, giving the field a sense of rhythm without overwhelming density.

The color scheme is especially elegant, employing a soft ivory ground enriched with nuanced shades of teal, sage, and indigo, offset by gentle beige and sand accents. The result is a subtle yet striking interplay between light and dark that highlights the artistry of the pattern. Surrounding the floral field is a grand multi-layered border with arabesque motifs and floral cartouches, framing the composition with structure and refinement.

True to the Meshad tradition, the rug combines fine wool, exceptional craftsmanship, and a graceful aesthetic that has ensured its enduring appeal. Its restrained palette and classical Persian motifs make it both versatile and timeless, equally suited for traditional interiors and modern spaces seeking a touch of historic sophistication.
