About the Item
Oversized Antique Persian Meshad Rug
Size: 14'2" × 22'2" (431 × 675 cm)
This majestic oversized Persian Meshad rug, dating back to circa 1900, stands as a testament to the enduring artistry of Persian carpet weaving. Woven in the celebrated city of Mashhad in northeastern Iran—renowned for producing some of the finest traditional rugs—this extraordinary piece measures an impressive 22' x 14', perfectly suited for expansive interiors seeking a touch of historical grandeur.
The rug showcases a richly detailed allover floral and botanical pattern, masterfully arranged in repeating medallion-like motifs across a deep charcoal ground. Intricate arabesques, scrolling vines, rosettes, and palmettes intertwine with rhythmic elegance, evoking the classic Safavid court aesthetics that once graced imperial palaces. Subtle geometric influences add structure to the otherwise lush and organic composition.
A striking border ensemble frames the design, comprising multiple guard bands filled with floral meanders and intricate motifs, harmonizing beautifully with the density and precision of the central field. The earthy yet vibrant color palette—featuring terracotta, ivory, pale gold, muted blue, and olive green—retains remarkable clarity and depth for a piece of its age, owing to the superior quality of the natural dyes and hand-spun wool.
Whether placed in a formal living space, grand hallway, or gallery-style setting, this antique Persian Meshad rug offers both decorative splendor and a piece of woven history. Its exceptional craftsmanship, artistic complexity, and palatial scale make it a true collector’s item and an heirloom-worthy investment.
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.
