Meshad Persian Antique Floral Allover Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB7900 13'0" × 17'1" $150,000

This exquisite 1930s Persian Meshad rug showcases the refined elegance and masterful craftsmanship for which the weaving workshops of Khorasan are celebrated. Woven in the storied city of Mashhad, this piece radiates sophistication through its delicate, pastel palette of powder blues, soft creams, and muted taupes, creating a serene and airy ambiance.

The expansive field features an intricate all-over pattern of palmettes, flowering vines, and delicate arabesques arranged in graceful symmetry. The harmonious design is enriched by the subtle interplay of abrash, adding depth and texture to the composition. Its scrolling vine work and finely rendered floral elements embody the classic Persian tradition while leaning toward a more understated, decorative style ideal for contemporary interiors.

A beautifully layered border frames the central field, with the main border adorned in stylized botanical motifs, flanked by narrower guard borders with meandering floral scrolls. The luminous color scheme and fine knotting make this carpet both a work of art and a versatile decorative foundation for a variety of settings.

Hand-knotted from the finest wool, the rug has aged gracefully, with a patina that reflects its history while retaining the quality and durability for which antique Persian carpets are renowned. This large-format piece is perfectly suited for a grand room, where it can serve as a serene yet sophisticated focal point.
