Meshad Persian Antique Allover Floral In Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 BB8528 11'6" × 19'5" $100,000

Radiating the grandeur and artistry of Persia’s legendary weaving tradition, this early 20th-century Meshad rug is a testament to the master craftsmanship of Khorasan’s most celebrated workshops. Woven circa 1900, it showcases a rich terracotta field gracefully adorned with an intricate network of floral and arabesque motifs. The design centers on a harmonious medallion formation, while elegant palmettes, curling vine scrolls, and delicate blossoms unfold symmetrically across the surface.

Subtle shades of ivory, sky blue, and deep indigo punctuate the warm russet ground, lending a sense of depth and contrast without overwhelming the composition. The spacious border frames the field in refined layers — wide guard bands with stylized botanical forms enclosed by narrower floral meanders — creating a balanced and dignified frame for the central artwork.

Hand-knotted from the finest wool, this Meshad rug bears the signature qualities for which the region is famed: luxurious pile, luminous natural dyes, and meticulous detail. Its grand dimensions make it ideally suited for an expansive interior where it can command attention, while its timeless Persian design ensures it remains a piece of enduring beauty.
