Antique Meshad Persian Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB7323 12'10" × 24'2" $140,000

This exquisite 1920’s Persian Meshad rug exemplifies the grandeur and artistry for which Meshad weavers are renowned. Woven in the heart of Khorasan, one of Persia’s most celebrated rug-producing regions, the piece showcases an intricate all-over design executed with masterful precision.

The field displays a continuous lattice of floral medallions and arabesques, gracefully intertwined to create a sense of endless rhythm and harmony. Subtle shades of sage green, dusty rose, and soft camel are accented by deeper notes of indigo and terracotta, resulting in a sophisticated, muted palette that reflects the rug’s age and patina while enhancing its timeless elegance.

Framing the field is a series of finely wrought borders. The main border features bold palmettes and stylized leaves set against a deep indigo ground, providing striking contrast to the softer interior. Multiple guard borders filled with delicate floral meanders further enrich the composition, adding depth and balance.

This monumental rug was woven for a grand interior, likely commissioned by an affluent patron of the early 20th century. Its scale, refinement, and harmonious color scheme make it not only a decorative statement but also a piece of Persian weaving history.

A testament to the artistry of Meshad workshops of the 1920s, this rug retains both its beauty and cultural significance, offering a rare opportunity for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
