Antique Kirman Persian Allover Floral Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB7313 10'9" × 15'4" $65,000

Rich in detail and steeped in tradition, this majestic 19th-century Persian Kirman rug presents a masterful all-over design that speaks to the enduring artistry of the region’s renowned weaving culture. Hand-knotted circa 1880, the carpet showcases the meticulous craftsmanship and fine wool pile typical of Kirman’s golden age of production.

The field is suffused with a harmonious lattice of scrolling vines and palmettes, interwoven with stylized blossoms and foliage in an expertly balanced symmetrical layout. Its expansive, all-over pattern echoes the influence of classical Persian garden design, creating a sense of movement and serene rhythm. A muted, time-softened palette of dusty beige, camel, and faded denim blue lends the rug a sophisticated patina, bearing witness to its age and authenticity. Gentle abrash and areas of wear reveal the passage of time without diminishing its presence or charm.

Framing the composition, a series of ornate borders unfold in succession, the innermost band densely filled with meandering floral motifs, while the primary border displays large-scale boteh and leaf elements set against a glowing ivory ground. The interplay of color and design draws the eye outward, enhancing the overall grandeur of the piece.

With its generous dimensions, this antique Kirman carpet offers not only decorative gravitas but also historic value. It would make a stately addition to both traditional and eclectic interiors, be it in a formal living room, library, or gallery setting.
