Antique Meshad Persian Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1920 BB8543 9'6" × 14'3" $53,000

This exquisite 1920’s Antique Persian Meshad rug embodies the grandeur and artistry for which the city of Mashhad is renowned. Woven in the heart of Khorasan, this piece features a harmonious all-over floral pattern rendered in a warm, sophisticated palette of sandy beige, soft ivory, and muted cocoa, accented by delicate hints of sky blue. The intricate botanical motifs — including palmettes, rosettes, and leafy vinery — are symmetrically arranged, exuding a sense of balanced elegance.

Framed by a series of finely detailed borders, the main border displays a graceful procession of floral sprays and palmettes, interlinked by scrolling vines. The use of subtle abrash in the blue elements lends depth and character, revealing the hand-dyed nature of the wool. The soft, time-mellowed tones enhance its antique charm, making it equally suited for formal settings or refined contemporary interiors.

Hand-knotted with the exceptional craftsmanship characteristic of early 20th-century Persian weaving, this Meshad rug is not only a decorative treasure but also a testament to the enduring artistry of Persian carpet making.
