Kirman Persian Antique Allover Floral Warm Tan With Navy Blue Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7239 11'7" × 24'0" $130,000

This exceptional early 20th-century Kirman rug epitomizes the elegance and refinement of Persian weaving at its height. Woven in the storied city of Kerman, renowned for its masterful craftsmanship and sophisticated designs, the piece showcases a harmonious allover pattern set against a warm apricot-camel field.

The intricate design features a rhythmic lattice of floral medallions, palmettes, and stylized botanical elements, each rendered with remarkable precision in a palette of soft indigo, sky blue, ivory, and subtle touches of rust. Flowing vinery and delicate blossoms intertwine seamlessly, creating a sense of continuous movement across the expanse of the rug.

A series of complementary borders frames the composition, with the wide main border adorned by large-scale palmettes and flowering vines, flanked by narrower guard borders with repeating floral motifs. The interplay between the saturated blues of the border and the more muted tones of the field adds depth and visual balance.

Woven in fine wool with a supple handle, this Kirman rug retains the graceful patina of age, its slightly time-softened colors lending warmth and character without diminishing the clarity of its drawing. Measuring approximately 24′ x 12′, it offers both scale and sophistication—ideal for a grand interior where artistry and history are equally valued.

A testament to the enduring beauty of Persian artistry, this Kirman carpet reflects the timeless appeal that has made rugs from this region sought-after by collectors and connoisseurs worldwide.
