Antique Meshad Persian Floral Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7518 10'9" Ã— 14'2" $70,000

This antique Meshad Persian rug, woven circa 1900, is a hand-knotted wool carpet from one of Persia’s respected weaving centers. Its allover floral composition shows the disciplined elegance associated with Meshad work, where structure and ornament are kept in careful balance.

The warm tan field is organized by a refined trellis of dark brown scrolling vines that form a steady lattice across the surface. Within that framework, small rosettes and crest-like floral accents appear in light blue, dusty rose, and cream, creating rhythm without crowding the design. The effect is formal yet approachable, with a softened patina that lends the pattern a gentle, aged calm.

A darker border frames the composition with greater density, bringing contrast and definition to the outer edge. As an antique Persian floral rug, it offers both decorative order and visual warmth, making it well suited to interiors that call for tradition, texture, and a quietly collected presence.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug represents the caliber of craftsmanship and cultural heritage the gallery has championed since its founding in 1965. With six decades of expertise, Doris Leslie Blau remains a premier destination for rare and extraordinary rugs across a wide range of styles and price points.
