About the Item
Exquisite Oversized Antique Persian Meshad Rug
Size: 16'9" × 24'3" (510 × 739 cm)
This antique Persian Meshad rug is a distinguished example of 19th-century Persian textile mastery, reflecting the grandeur and artistic refinement associated with the cultural hub of Mashhad in northeastern Iran. Meticulously handwoven in the late 1800s, this carpet encapsulates the elegance and decorative richness that define some of the finest Persian workshop pieces of the Qajar period.
At its heart lies an elaborate central medallion formed by layered floral motifs radiating from a delicately drawn rosette. The medallion is seamlessly embedded in a dense field of stylized botanical forms—lotus blossoms, scrolling acanthus leaves, palmettes, and arabesques—executed with extraordinary precision and visual harmony. These lush floral elements are presented in a soft and sophisticated palette dominated by pale ivory, light sky blue, muted navy, and delicate blush tones, lending the rug an airy, ethereal charm despite its substantial scale.
The composition demonstrates a deep understanding of spatial balance. The main field is framed by a series of complex borders, including a wide primary band featuring repeating floral cartouches and lush vinery, complemented by thinner guard stripes adorned with meandering tendrils and stylized blooms. The gentle abrashed tones further enhance the rug’s antique authenticity, offering a sense of timeworn beauty that only age and natural dyes can impart.
Crafted with high-quality wool on a cotton foundation, this rug not only exudes luxurious texture but also exceptional durability. Its impressive size and subtle coloration make it ideal for a grand interior, whether a formal living room, gallery space, or elegant dining hall, infusing any setting with history, warmth, and refinement.
This antique Meshad rug stands as a testament to the artistry of Persian weavers who merged ornamental sophistication with technical excellence. It is a truly collectible piece for connoisseurs of antique carpets and timeless design.
A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition.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.
