About the Item

Oversized Antique Persian Meshad Rug Size: 15'0" × 19'6" (457 × 594 cm) This exceptional oversized antique Persian Meshad rug, hand-knotted in the 1930s, is a prime example of the finesse and artistry found in Persian weaving traditions. Originating from Meshad, a renowned weaving center in northeastern Iran, the carpet embodies the rich cultural heritage and elevated craftsmanship synonymous with this region. The composition presents a beautifully intricate, all-over lattice pattern enclosing stylized floral motifs and palmettes, giving the rug a rhythmic, meditative quality. The field is rendered in a warm camel tone, offset by deep aubergine, navy, and crimson highlights, which define the details with remarkable clarity. This luxurious color palette is both traditional and versatile, providing an anchor for a range of interior styles—from classic to eclectic. One of the defining features of this rug is its masterfully proportioned multiple borders. The broad main border is adorned with rosettes, blossoming vines, and stylized boteh forms, all harmonized within a regal plum background. Surrounding this are finely executed minor borders filled with repeating floral and geometric elements in shades of terracotta, ivory, and sapphire blue. These borders are exquisitely balanced and visually frame the central field, lending it a sense of grandeur and structure. Woven entirely by hand using high-grade wool, the rug exhibits both a supple handle and durable foundation. Its tight weave and high knot density are hallmarks of Meshad workmanship, ensuring not only visual refinement but long-lasting utility. The slight wear visible in areas only enhances its authentic vintage character, adding depth and soul to its already compelling presence. With its monumental size, harmonious design, and exquisite palette, this antique Persian Meshad carpet would make a striking statement in large-scale interiors such as salons, libraries, or formal dining rooms. It is a true collectible piece—rooted in history, yet perfectly poised for modern appreciation. Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
