Antique Kirman Persian Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 BB7333 10'1" × 14'7" $30,000

This antique Persian Kirman rug (circa 1900) displays the sophisticated artistry and fine craftsmanship for which Kirman (Kerman) weavers are renowned. The field is adorned with an all-over pattern of intricate floral motifs, featuring graceful palmettes, leafy vines, and stylized blossoms arranged in a dense, symmetrical lattice. The design flows seamlessly across the entire carpet, creating a sense of endless botanical abundance without a central medallion.

The color palette is exquisitely subtle and harmonious. The ground is a warm sand-beige with gentle golden undertones, providing a soft and elegant backdrop. Floral elements introduce shades of powdery sky blue, teal, and faded turquoise, balanced by muted caramel, light mocha, and occasional hints of pale ivory. Outlines and small accents in deep indigo lend delicate definition to the motifs.

A series of multiple guard borders frames the composition: the widest border features scrolling floral sprays in soft tan and muted blue-green on a lighter beige ground, flanked by smaller bands with diamond and vine patterns that echo the interior hues.

Woven from fine wool, the rug’s surface retains a luminous patina that speaks to its age and authenticity. Its elegantly aged colors, combined with the complexity of its all-over floral design, make this Kirman carpet a timeless example of Persian weaving—ideal for adding historic character and refined beauty to both traditional and modern interiors.
