Antique Meshad Persian Allover Floral Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1880 BB4657 10'2" × 16'0" $32,000
$32,000
This antique Persian Meshad carpet, woven circa 1880, reflects the refined floral tradition of northeastern Iran in a hand-knotted wool construction. It belongs to the celebrated family of Persian rugs admired for their balance, detail, and enduring decorative value.
An allover botanical design fills the muted beige field with a rhythmic trellis of scrolling vines, palmettes, and small medallion-like rosettes. Rather than relying on a single central focal point, the composition moves evenly across the surface, giving the antique carpet a steady, room-anchoring presence. A structured multi-border system frames the field and reinforces the formal character of the drawing.
Time has softened the palette into dusty blue, slate gray, light taupe, and teal, creating depth without heaviness. The gentle abrasion of the weave lends the pattern a painterly, timeworn quality that suits both traditional and layered contemporary interiors. Elegant yet restrained, this Meshad Persian rug offers the classic appeal of an antique floral carpet with a quietly sophisticated finish.
Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug reflects the gallery's longstanding dedication to preserving the finest examples of carpet artistry from around the world. Its remarkable craftsmanship and patina make it both a decorative statement and a collectible work of art.
