About the Item
Antique Persian Meshad Rug – A Monumental Symphony of Persian Elegance and Floral Finesse
Size: 16'4" × 24'9" (497 × 754 cm).
This exquisite antique Persian Meshad rug, woven circa 1920, is a masterclass in grandeur and refinement, blending scale, color harmony, and traditional Persian artistry into a truly breathtaking textile. Measuring an impressive 25 by 16 feet, the rug was undoubtedly created for a significant interior, evoking the sophistication and opulence of early 20th-century Persian high craftsmanship.
At the heart of the composition lies a luminous raspberry-red field, densely adorned with an intricate allover pattern of lush floral scrolls, palmettes, and stylized vine work. The density and symmetry of the design—balanced yet richly detailed—reflect the hallmarks of Meshad weaving, often regarded as some of the finest in northeastern Iran.
The floral motifs are rendered in a sophisticated palette of soft ivory, earthy taupe, midnight blue, and gentle sage greens, which provide contrast and dimensionality without disrupting the field's overall warmth. Scattered black floral rosettes punctuate the design rhythmically, adding a dynamic visual anchor.
Framing this vibrant core is a striking wide border in an unusual and beautifully saturated cerulean blue. The border showcases large palmettes and lotus-like blossoms, each enclosed by sinuous tendrils and interspersed with smaller rosettes. This use of sky-blue in the border—a rare choice—introduces a cool balance that enhances the visual impact of the red ground.
Crafted from high-quality wool and meticulously hand-knotted, this Meshad rug boasts a velvety texture and exceptional durability. Its generous size and refined palette make it ideal for anchoring a grand room, whether traditional or transitional in style.
With its harmonious proportions, regal colors, and expertly rendered floral arabesques, this antique Meshad rug is both an heirloom and a statement—celebrating the rich legacy of Persian weaving in one magnificent textile.
This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
