Kirman Persian Antique Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB8903 12'2" × 20'10" $95,000

This stately Antique Persian Kirman rug, dating from the early 20th century, showcases the opulent artistry for which the weaving centers of Kerman are renowned. The expansive field is adorned with a harmonious allover lattice of palmettes, rosettes, and stylized blossoms, intricately interlinked by delicate vinery and arabesques. The refined color palette—anchored in soft powder blues, warm sand, and muted terracotta—creates an atmosphere of elegance and serenity, while subtle abrash lends depth and character to the composition.

Framing the central design, a magnificent main border unfolds in a rhythmic procession of palmettes and scrolling vinework, set against a rich sky-blue ground. Multiple guard borders filled with petite floral meanders complete the frame, balancing visual richness with a sense of order.

Handwoven from fine, lustrous wool, this Kirman rug exhibits both exceptional craftsmanship and graceful age patina. Its grand scale, balanced proportions, and intricate yet understated design make it a distinguished statement piece, ideal for anchoring a formal salon, library, or reception hall.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
