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

Antique Persian Meshad rug, circa 1920, hand-knotted in wool and woven in the celebrated Meshad tradition. Its softly aged soft beige field gives the piece a calm, luminous base, allowing the formal composition to read with understated clarity rather than heavy ornament.

The design unfolds as an allover trellis of floral and foliate motifs, with small blossoms and looping vines layered into a refined repeating rhythm. Time has softened the palette into muted beige, dusty blue, and gentle tea-green notes, lending the surface a painterly, atmospheric character that feels elegant without appearing rigid.

A dark navy border frames the composition with greater contrast, populated by palmettes, leaves, and scrolling botanical forms that reinforce the rug’s classic Persian structure. This antique Meshad Persian rug brings quiet order and decorative depth to interiors, offering a formal yet versatile presence for rooms that call for historic character and restrained color.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug exemplifies superior artistry, historic character, and timeless sophistication. DLB is internationally recognized for offering exceptional antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs of remarkable quality and provenance.
