Antique Kirman Persian Floral Allover Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7293 12'4" × 17'7" $90,000

This antique Persian Kirman rug, woven circa 1900, reflects the refined floral tradition of Kerman in southeastern Persia. Hand-knotted in wool, it offers the tailored discipline and quiet richness for which Kirman carpets are admired.

A muted beige field is filled with a finely spaced allover composition of palmettes, floral rosettes, scrolling vines, and small medallion-like crests. Rather than opening into a broad central reserve, the design repeats with measured rhythm, creating movement across the surface while preserving an elegant sense of order. Dusty blue, charcoal, olive, and cream-beige accents keep the pattern crisp without overwhelming the ground.

A framed border hierarchy completes the composition, pairing a narrow inner guard with a wider main band packed with blossoms and foliate stems. The result is formal yet approachable, suited to interiors that call for antique Persian character, layered texture, and a softened palette. Its restrained coloring and intricate drawing allow the rug to anchor classic rooms and temper contemporary architecture alike.

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.
