Antique Kirman Persian Allover Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1920 Garden Design BB7345 10'2" × 11'8" $43,000

This antique Persian Kirman carpet, woven circa 1920 in the celebrated Kirman weaving tradition, presents a formal garden design in hand-knotted wool. Its refined composition reflects the region’s skill for translating classic Persian courtly taste into richly detailed floor coverings.

A muted beige field provides a quiet stage for repeated vase forms, cypress-like trees, and flowering shrubs arranged in rhythmic bands. The pattern feels both botanical and geometric, with mirrored registers that create order without losing the lively, hand-drawn character of the ornament. Indigo, brick red, dusty rose, and forest green define the palette, giving the rug depth against its soft ground.

Framing the field is a series of ornate borders, including a floral main border that echoes the carpet’s garden imagery and reinforces its architectural presence. Elegant and historically grounded, this antique Kirman Persian rug brings pattern, color, and a collected sense of tradition to formal interiors, libraries, and rooms that benefit from layered warmth.

A treasured piece from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug embodies the gallery's longstanding commitment to sourcing carpets of exceptional artistry and historical significance. DLB offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, welcoming collectors and designers at every level.
