Antique Meshad Persian Floral Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 BB7304 13'9" × 17'8" $95,000

An antique Persian Meshad hand-knotted wool carpet, woven circa 1900, this piece reflects the refined floral weaving tradition of northeastern Persia. Its formal allover composition is organized with unusual clarity, giving the rug a balanced, composed presence suited to elegant rooms.

A warm tan field forms the backdrop for a dense network of scrolling vines, palmettes, blossoms, and feathered leaves. The drawing is compact and rhythmic, with a restrained medallion-like center emerging from the ornament rather than dominating it. Ivory, light blue, dark blue, and soft brown accents lend depth, while subtle rust notes enrich the palette without disturbing its calm tone.

Layered borders reinforce the hierarchy of the design, repeating floral motifs in a quieter register and framing the field with a sense of order. The result is a Persian floral carpet that feels tailored yet relaxed, well suited to traditional, transitional, or layered interiors seeking age, texture, and decorative softness.

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.
