A late 19th century Persian Meshad rug, the dusty rose field with a bold design of staggered midnight blue medallions separated by stylized enlarged palmettes and vinery within a celadon green enlarged palmette border.

As is typical of workshop rugs produced in larger towns, Meshad antique carpets can be larger and of a more consistent quality than Antique Persian rugs produced in a smaller village and, of course, by nomadic tribesmen. This is a result of the sturdier looms typically used in larger towns and cities (they are ill-suited to village settings and not at all feasible for nomads. They are too large and require an anchored placement) and the better quality-control which weeds out deviations and irregularities that would pass muster in a smaller setting not up to the level of Meshad’s artisans. Reflecting their pride in workmanship, Meshad weavers frequently signed their work, adding interest and value to the precious nature of these antique oriental rugs.
