Antique Meshad Persian Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7263 10'3" × 15'7" $85,000

This majestic antique Persian Meshad rug, woven circa 1880, is a stunning testament to the refined artistry of Persian textile traditions. Characterized by its expansive scale and harmonious composition, the piece effortlessly blends opulence with understated elegance.

The rug’s field features a delicately rendered allover floral design, gracefully arranged in a symmetrical, mirror-like layout. Stylized palmettes, blossoms, and sinuous vinery unfold across the soft, time-faded sand and taupe background, interspersed with gentle accents of celadon blue and chocolate brown. These subtle hues imbue the piece with a tranquil and dignified presence, reflecting both the masterful hand of its weaver and the natural patina acquired through age.

Surrounding the central field, a richly layered border composition frames the design. The primary border, in a warm terra cotta hue, is filled with a scrolling botanical motif that adds depth and vibrancy, while narrower guard borders in ivory and camel tones provide balance and cohesion.

Hand-knotted in wool with exceptional craftsmanship, this Meshad rug boasts not only decorative beauty but also structural integrity. Its well-worn surface and muted palette evoke a sense of history and authenticity that collectors and connoisseurs will deeply appreciate.

Whether placed in a traditional setting or used to add soulful texture to a modern interior, this antique Meshad rug offers timeless sophistication and historical richness.
