Antique Kirman Persian Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB8983 11'8" × 17'5" $85,000

This exquisite 1900’s antique Persian Kirman carpet exemplifies the masterful artistry and refined elegance for which Kirman weavers are celebrated. It boasts a rich composition of intricate floral and botanical motifs arranged in a lush, garden-like pattern.

The central field features an elaborate “Tree of Life” design, with gracefully arching branches adorned with blossoms, palmettes, and leafy sprays, rendered in a harmonious palette of warm camel, soft beige, deep navy, and delicate sky blue. The finely detailed flowers and foliage, outlined in darker tones, create a sense of depth and movement, enhancing the carpet’s visual richness.

Encasing the field is a series of layered borders—each with its own decorative rhythm. The main border is filled with scrolling vines and stylized blooms, framed by narrower guard borders that carry complementary floral and arabesque patterns. These borders not only frame the central design but also add balance and grandeur to the composition.

Hand-knotted from the finest wool, this Kirman carpet combines exceptional durability with a soft, luxurious pile. Its timeless Persian craftsmanship, coupled with its elegant color story, makes it an ideal focal point for both traditional and sophisticated contemporary interiors.
