Antique Kirman Persian Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB0772 11'9" × 18'5" $90,000

This exquisite antique Persian Kirman rug from the early 20th century exemplifies the sophistication and artistry for which Kirman weavers are celebrated. Characterized by its intricate detail and harmonious palette, the rug displays an elaborate allover boteh (paisley) design—an enduring Persian motif symbolizing life, fertility, and eternity.

The botehs are richly ornamented, layered with stylized floral scrolls, palmettes, and fine vinework, creating a tapestry-like field brimming with movement and depth. Shades of indigo, teal, ivory, and soft beige intertwine seamlessly, producing a luminous composition that feels both bold and balanced.

The border complements the field with floral meanders and guard stripes that frame the boteh motifs, enhancing the rug’s sense of symmetry and grandeur. Woven with exceptional craftsmanship, this Kirman rug embodies both decorative beauty and symbolic meaning, making it not only a striking floor covering but also a collector-worthy piece of Persian textile art.

A rare find in this scale and condition, this antique Kirman rug from Doris Leslie Blau Collection would lend refined elegance to both traditional and contemporary interiors. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
