Antique Kirman Persian Medallion Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 BB4100 13'0" × 19'1" $85,000

This antique Persian Kirman rug, dating back to the early 1900s, is a distinguished example of the refined artistry for which Kirman weaving is renowned. Its field is adorned with an elegant allover floral design, featuring stylized blossoms, leafy sprays, and botanical motifs arranged with graceful symmetry. The palette is soft and harmonious, dominated by muted shades of camel, ivory, and faded indigo, which lend the piece a warm, time-softened patina.

The central design includes delicate floral garlands and medallion-inspired arrangements, framed by lush trees of life and wreath-like motifs, evoking a garden in perpetual bloom. The border complements the field beautifully, with meandering vines and floral clusters enclosed in finely drawn guard bands.

Hand-knotted with exceptional craftsmanship, the rug showcases the high knot density and wool quality characteristic of Kirman workshops of the period. Its elegant proportions, combined with the gentle abrashed tones developed over more than a century, give this piece both decorative versatility and historical depth.

This antique Kirman rug embodies the Persian tradition of weaving as both a decorative art and a poetic expression of nature, making it an exceptional choice for collectors and admirers of timeless, handwoven masterpieces.
