Antique Kirman Persian Floral Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 BB7242 12'9" × 21'8" $130,000

This exceptional Persian Kirman rug, woven at the turn of the 20th century, radiates timeless elegance with its refined palette and masterful craftsmanship. The warm terra-cotta field serves as a glowing backdrop for an intricate all-over botanical design rendered in soft sky blues, gentle ivory, and muted indigo. Flowing palmettes, delicate rosettes, and scrolling vinery intertwine gracefully, creating a harmonious sense of movement throughout the composition.

The wide border frames the central field with a series of complementary floral guard stripes, each abundant with meticulously detailed blossoms and foliage. The interplay between the cool blue tones and the earthy coral ground captures Kirman’s celebrated ability to balance color and design for both visual richness and graceful restraint.

Woven in wool of remarkable softness and durability, this carpet exemplifies the artistry for which Kirman workshops have been renowned for centuries—combining Persian garden imagery with an understated sophistication that makes it as suited to a grand formal space as to a refined modern interior.
