Antique Kirman Persian Medallion Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 BB8771 13'5" × 19'5" $95,000

This monumental Persian Kirman rug, circa 1900, exemplifies the refined artistry and grandeur for which Kirman weavings are celebrated. It was handwoven in the early 20th century using the finest wool, achieving both durability and a velvety sheen.

The rug presents a delicate, airy palette of soft ivory, pale sand, muted peach, and cool slate blue, lending it an elegant and timeless quality. Its field is filled with an intricate allover design of floral sprays, palmettes, and scrolling tendrils, executed with precision and remarkable fluidity. The interplay between the powdery blues and warm apricot tones softens the elaborate pattern, creating a harmonious balance between movement and calm.

Kirman weavers were renowned for their ability to produce both highly decorative and technically superb rugs, and this piece reflects their mastery. The expansive composition draws the eye across a continuous garden of blossoms, while the refined border frames the field with symmetry and grace.

With its palatial scale, subtle coloration, and detailed botanical motifs, this antique Kirman rug embodies the height of Persian textile artistry. Its quiet sophistication makes it an ideal foundation for both classical and contemporary interiors, offering warmth, history, and understated luxury.
