Meshad Persian Antique Allover Floral In Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 BB8528 11'6" × 19'5" $100,000

This antique Persian Meshad carpet, woven circa 1900 in the Khorasan tradition, is hand-knotted in wool and reflects the refined workshop heritage of northeastern Persia. Its design is arranged around a soft central medallion, but the greater impression comes from the graceful allover floral field that gives the piece its calm, collected rhythm.

The warm tan ground is softened by time and animated with scrolling vines, palmettes, blossoms, and crest-like details in ivory, sage green, pale blue, and deep navy. Rather than sharp contrast, the pattern relies on mellow tonal variation, so the rug reads as decorative and atmospheric, with a beautifully aged patina.

A layered border of floral meanders and stylized botanical motifs frames the composition with clear definition, echoing the field without interrupting its flow. Elegant yet approachable, this Meshad rug brings antique Persian character, floral movement, and a quietly luxurious color story to formal living rooms, dining rooms, or layered transitional interiors that benefit from warmth and ornament.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of traditional weaving artistry.
