Meshad Persian Antique Allover Floral Pale Sand Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 (Size Adjusted) BB8557 11'9" × 20'3" $95,000

This exquisite 1900s Antique Persian Meshad rug showcases the refined artistry and craftsmanship of one of Iran’s most celebrated weaving centers. Its softly timeworn palette of pale sand, faded sky blue, and muted indigo exudes an understated elegance, allowing the intricate floral and botanical motifs to emerge with subtle sophistication. The spacious allover design features interconnected palmettes, rosettes, and stylized vines arranged with masterful balance, framed by a series of harmonious borders. The main border presents a graceful meandering floral pattern, while the guard borders introduce complementary scrolling accents that echo the central field’s botanical theme.

Woven from high-quality wool, the rug bears the signature Meshad weaving style—densely knotted, durable, and richly textured. The gentle wear of over a century has imparted a soft patina, enhancing its antique character and giving the colors a beautifully mellowed, almost watercolor-like quality.

Ideal for a grand interior, this antique Meshad rug offers both historical significance and decorative versatility, embodying the timeless appeal of Persian textile art.
