Kirman Persian Antique Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB6767 13'10" × 21'10" $130,000

This monumental Kirman carpet presents a gentle camel-hued field that serves as a soft canvas for a mesmerizing all-over trellis network of stylized vine scrolls, flowering branches, and rhythmic cypress motifs. Each botanical element flows into the next with serene symmetry, creating a living tapestry that feels both structured and poetic.

Encircling the field is a light cream border, dotted with elegant rows of cypresses separated by sprays of millefleur—tiny floral flourishes that echo the botanical richness of the center. This juxtaposition of camel and cream, of expansive field and delicate border, showcases the Kashan weavers’ mastery of visual tone and compositional balance.

Rendered entirely in finely chosen, time-softened tones, the rug’s palette embodies whisper-soft elegance. The natural aging of the dyes imparts a delicate patina, making the colors—once vivid—feel like soft dawn light, with subtle shifts lending the piece a quietly luminous quality.

With its expansive scale and timeless beauty, this Kirman rug would anchor a grand hallway, formal salon, or stately library. It offers both decorative power and a gentle sophistication—an echo of Persian artistic heritage that enriches interiors through poetic design rather than bold assertion.

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.
