Antique Meshad Persian Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 Tree Of Life BB9125 11'7" × 17'5" $90,000

This exceptional antique Persian Meshad rug from the 1920s features a richly detailed Tree of Life composition set against a luminous ivory field. The central botanical forms unfold into an elegant garden of stylized trees, flowering branches, and delicate vine work, symbolizing abundance and renewal. The finely drawn motifs are rendered in a harmonious palette of soft blues, teal, plum, rose, and warm earth tones, creating depth and visual movement throughout the design.

A striking blue border frames the composition with repeating floral and foliate patterns, enhancing the rug’s decorative balance while adding a refined contrast to the lighter field. The drawing is intricate yet airy, giving the piece a painterly quality typical of fine Meshad workshop production from the early 20th century.

Hand-knotted from high-quality wool, this rug offers a soft, lustrous pile and excellent durability, making it both a collectible textile and a practical statement piece for a living room, library, or formal interior. Its elegant garden imagery and sophisticated coloration allow it to complement both traditional and transitional spaces, bringing warmth, artistry, and timeless Persian craftsmanship into the home.

This rug from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection is not only a collectible statement of refined taste and exceptional craftsmanship—it is also a rare survival of the modernist movement as interpreted through Persian textile 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.
