Kirman Persian Antique Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB6696 13'4" × 23'10" $200,000

This exceptional 19th-century Persian Kirman carpet presents a warm beige field, setting a luminous ground for an intricate display of midnight-blue floral and botanical motifs. The contrast between the soft, neutral base and the depth of the indigo ornamentation lends the piece both elegance and decorative presence.

The field is richly animated with stylized shrubs, flowering plants, and a central arboreal motif, giving the composition a sense of balance and natural vitality. Subtle touches of gold, ivory, and soft brown accentuate the design, enriching the interplay of colors without overwhelming the serene ground.

Encircling the composition, the midnight-blue border echoes the floral motifs of the field, providing a dignified frame that enhances the carpet’s symmetry and visual harmony.

Hand-knotted in Kirman circa 1880, this carpet exemplifies the workshop’s reputation for producing refined, botanical-inspired designs of monumental scale. With its understated palette and intricate detail, the piece is not only a masterpiece of Persian craftsmanship but also an elegant decorative statement, capable of transforming interiors with its sophistication.
