Antique Kirman Persian Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7741 12'1" × 18'5" $95,000

This exquisite Antique Persian Kirman rug, dating to the early 1900s, exemplifies the refinement and artistry for which Kirman weavers are celebrated. Its grand scale and breathtaking detail reflect the mastery of Persian craftsmanship at the turn of the century.

The rug’s central field is adorned with a lavish allover floral design anchored by four grand medallions arranged in perfect symmetry. Each medallion blossoms with intricate rosettes and stylized palmettes, encircled by scrolling vines and lush botanical motifs. The warm ivory ground creates a luminous backdrop that allows the earthy rusts, deep indigo, soft blues, and muted greens to radiate with depth and balance.

A series of ornate borders frames the composition, with the main border featuring scrolling blossoms and richly detailed foliage set against a striking teal-blue ground. The interplay of the central floral lattice with the expansive border design produces a rhythmic elegance, drawing the eye across the surface in flowing harmony.

Woven in Kirman, a renowned weaving center in southern Persia, this rug displays not only the technical precision of high knot density but also a sophisticated sense of proportion and color layering. The natural vegetable dyes have matured beautifully over time, giving the rug a patina that enhances its depth and character.

Its timeless botanical artistry and superb craftsmanship make it both a decorative centerpiece and a treasured collectible for connoisseurs of antique Persian carpets.
