About the Item
Oversized Large Antique Persian Meshad Rug
Size: 16'0" × 26'0" (487 × 792 cm)
This grand antique Persian Meshad rug, dating to the late 19th century, is a captivating example of the region's celebrated weaving tradition. Rendered in a soft, time-mellowed color palette, the rug features a dynamic all-over design built from repeating boteh (paisley) motifs—each delicately drawn and arranged in a meticulous, lattice-like formation that blankets the entire field.
The boteh, symbolic of fertility and eternal life in Persian iconography, is skillfully rendered in tones of navy, ivory, camel, and soft terracotta, subtly varied for visual rhythm. These motifs float against a warm sand-colored field, producing an impression of both order and organic movement.
The field is enclosed by a stately series of borders, with the wide main border showcasing stylized floral scrolls and dramatic palmettes on a navy ground, framed by a sequence of slim, guard borders filled with charming rosettes and abstract flourishes. The addition of delicate red accents adds depth and a touch of vibrancy to the subdued palette.
Woven by hand from high-quality wool, this Meshad carpet possesses a wonderfully soft yet sturdy pile, a testament to the masterful craftsmanship and robust materials characteristic of the region’s finest weavings. Its scale and presence make it ideally suited for spacious interiors—grand halls, salons, or galleries—seeking a piece with heritage, texture, and understated majesty.
This piece is not only a stunning example of antique Persian design but also a storied artifact of 19th-century textile art, offering both decorative elegance and historical depth.
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.
