Antique Kirman Persian Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB8569 13'7" × 22'5" $95,000

This exquisite 19th-century Persian Kirman rug is a masterclass in subtle sophistication and refined artistry. Woven in the 1880s, it features a delicately time-softened color palette of warm sand and muted denim blue, creating a harmonious and inviting presence. The intricate all-over floral field is meticulously detailed with scrolling vines, stylized blossoms, and palmettes, arranged in a graceful, symmetrical composition that reflects the pinnacle of Kirman weaving tradition.

The central field is anchored by gently emerging medallion motifs, their outlines softly blurred with age, blending seamlessly into the surrounding botanical tracery. A series of elegant guard borders frames the composition, with the main border adorned in repeating floral cartouches and meandering vines, enhancing the sense of rhythm and flow.

The wool pile retains a rich, tactile texture, showing the gentle patina of nearly a century and a half of history. The faded blues and golden-beige tones offer a timeless, versatile aesthetic—equally at home in a traditional interior or as a subtle counterpoint in a contemporary setting.

A rare and impressive example in a generous format from Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this antique Kirman rug embodies the quiet grandeur and enduring beauty of Persian weaving at its finest. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
