Meshad Persian Antique Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB4486 6'2" × 7'0" $8,000

This elegant Persian Meshad rug from the late 19th century embodies the grandeur and artistry for which Meshad weavings are renowned. Handwoven circa 1880, the piece showcases a sophisticated botanical design set against a rich midnight-blue field, creating a striking interplay of color and form.

The central composition is adorned with an allover lattice of floral medallions, palmettes, and scrolling vinery, each motif rendered with exquisite precision. Delicate blossoms in warm terracotta, ivory, and soft celadon emerge gracefully from the indigo ground, balancing vibrancy with subtle harmony. The floral arrangement conveys both rhythm and elegance, reflecting the Persian garden ideal that inspired generations of weavers.

A finely articulated border frames the field, featuring a sequence of stylized cartouches and rosettes, enhancing the rug’s symmetry and timeless beauty. The high-quality wool, lustrous sheen, and meticulous knotting testify to the superior craftsmanship of Meshad workshops during this period.

With its deep jewel-tone palette and refined botanical ornamentation, this antique Meshad rug offers both decorative sophistication and historic authenticity. It stands as a testament to the enduring artistry of Persian weaving, making it a prized addition to any collection or interior.
