Antique Meshad Persian Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7289 10'8" × 19'4" $75,000

This antique Persian Meshad rug, woven circa 1900, reflects the graceful weaving tradition for which Meshad carpets have long been admired. Hand-knotted in wool, it presents a formal allover composition that feels both orderly and richly layered, making it especially suitable for grand interiors that call for historic character.

The warm tan field is densely worked with an intricate floral lattice of scrolling vines, palmettes, stylized blossoms, and delicate leaves. At the center, a subtle crest-like medallion structure emerges from the surrounding ornament, while the mirrored arrangement lends the design a measured sense of movement. Soft beige, camel, chocolate brown, and muted teal accents keep the pattern finely articulated without losing its quiet harmony.

A deep navy border frames the composition with authority, its flowering motifs giving the rug a stronger architectural edge. The result is a Persian floral rug with both courtly refinement and a welcoming patina, well suited to formal living rooms, libraries, and rooms that benefit from warmth, texture, and a layered antique presence.

A treasured piece from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug embodies the gallery's longstanding commitment to sourcing carpets of exceptional artistry and historical significance.
