Oversize Antique Brown Persian Meshad Rug 12' x 18'3
About the Item
12' x 18'3. The all-over pattern of this antique Meshad carpet from northeast Persia is a wonderful array of unusually detailed and original palmettes connected by light blue scrolling vines. There are so many different types of side viewed, sectioned palmettes that they serve as virtually a survey of traditional Persian rug design motives. To describe each one would take an essay at least. Some are Classic, going back to the 16th century, while others are later design innovations. They float, move and swirl on the old gold ground. Curved lancet leaves add to the sense of fantasy. The royal blue border is more disciplined with botehs and curved leaves bracketing in-and-out and diagonal palmettes. The extremely well-drawn pattern flows under the border giving the effect of a frame superimposed on a continuous flow of fanciful floral elements. The origin of the palmette lies back in Chinese art with the lotus and the peony, but these elements are totally beyond their sources. The texture of this carpet is firm and compact, although it is not fine just for the sake of fineness as is the case with many more recent rugs. The color palette is Classic for Persian art, with the blue border playing off against the rich gold of the field.

Located in New York, NY
Oversize antique Persian Baktiari rug, circa 1890. Measures: 12' x 18'10. Feeling like a VIP? Like a person of importance? Maybe this mansion-size antique Persian carpet with a white field and an inscription indicating it was woven in the early 20th century for an oil-rich tribal ruler is for you. The cypresses and vase at the lower end usher one into a spring garden (on your estate?). Out of the vase and from thin flanking plants a verdant array of spring flowers explodes upwards in a Directional pattern. Saturated greens yellows reds and blues detail the dense scatter fill of floral devices. The narrow red palmettes border and the associated yellow and deep brown minors can scarcely contain the fields energy. The pattern is Directional, pointing towards your very comfortable and luxurious seating furniture. With you on it, of course. This is not a Minimalist carpet...
