Kirman Persian Antique Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Runner – Circa 1920 BB6915 3'1" × 16'0" $21,000

This antique Persian Kirman runner, hand-knotted in wool circa 1920, reflects the refined weaving tradition of Kerman in southeastern Persia. Its long, tailored format and formal floral drawing make it especially suited to hallways and other circulation spaces, where the design can unfold with quiet continuity.

A dense allover botanical lattice fills the blue field with closely spaced blossoms, leafy vines, and small palmettes in ivory, warm tan, and soft blue. Rather than relying on a single medallion, the composition repeats in a steady rhythm that feels both elegant and orderly, giving the runner a graceful sense of movement from end to end.

A slender border, worked with complementary floral sprays and trellis accents, frames the center without disrupting its flow. The softened palette and fine hand-knotted wool construction lend the piece a relaxed patina, allowing this antique Kirman runner to bridge traditional Persian character and understated contemporary interiors.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug exemplifies superior artistry, historic character, and timeless sophistication. DLB is internationally recognized for offering exceptional antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs of remarkable quality and provenance.
