Antique Meshad Persian Floral Allover Sand Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB5753 6'6" × 9'1" $43,000

This Persian Meshad rug from the 1920s beautifully reflects the timeless artistry and elegance for which rugs from the renowned weaving center of Mashhad are celebrated. The rug presents a sophisticated interplay of earthy camel tones with contrasting shades of deep indigo and faded teal, softened by time into a wonderfully muted, almost watercolor-like palette.

The floral medallion motifs and scrolling vine patterns showcase the Persian mastery of balance and symmetry while the intricate border design adds definition and structure to the composition. Its hand-knotted wool pile has aged gracefully, bearing the gentle patina of nearly a century of history. Areas of natural wear further enhance its character, lending a warm, lived-in texture that makes this piece both visually striking and inviting.

This Meshad rug exemplifies the combination of durability, artistry, and refinement that has long made Persian carpets a cornerstone of interior design. Its subdued palette and delicate, flowing patterns make it an exceptionally versatile piece, ideal for grounding both traditional and modern spaces with a sense of heritage and understated luxury.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
