ANTIQUE PERSIAN MESHAD RUG

Offered by: Doris Leslie Blau

Description
An early 19th century Mashad Persian rug, the camel field with an expressive trellis overall of palmettes, botehs and dramatic flowering vinery within a rust linked cartouche border.

Antique Meshad rugs are ‘jufti’ knotted, a technique used in antique Khorassan carpets and Antique Persian rugs as well.

With a good supply of soft wool and high quality craftsmen, Meshad has had a reputation as one of the most prolific, creative, and highly stylized sources of beautiful Persian antique carpets making them easily identified throughout the centuries.

Founded in 1965, Doris Leslie Blau’s rug emporium is the stuff of design legends. For decades it was known as the go-to source for those seeking the best in the unusual antique and avant-garde. Now owned by Nader Bolour, to whom Doris turned over the business, the gallery has not only continued the tradition of carrying the best of antique and vintage pieces, but has also forged ahead to create unique and innovative contemporary and custom rugs as well.
