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

This antique Persian Kirman rug, hand-knotted circa 1880, reflects the refined weaving tradition of Kirman in southeastern Persia. Woven in wool, it belongs to the great 19th-century Persian carpet tradition admired for its precision, elegance, and enduring decorative appeal.

The cream beige field is filled with an intricate allover arrangement of scrolling vines, palmettes, blossoms, and foliate tendrils, creating a dense surface that feels both ordered and fluid. Rather than relying on a single central medallion, the composition unfolds in a steady repeat, giving the rug a quiet architectural rhythm and a richly layered presence.

Soft dusty blue, navy, and earthy brown accents enliven the muted ground, while the surrounding border system provides a crisp frame with floral and boteh-inspired elements. The result is an antique Persian floral rug with a time-softened palette and a graceful patina, well suited to interiors that call for depth, texture, and understated formality.

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.
