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

Radiating refined elegance and classical sophistication, this exquisite antique Persian Kirman rug from circa 1900 is a masterclass in balance, nuance, and ornamental beauty. Hand-knotted in the famed weaving ateliers of Kerman, this stately carpet boasts an allover lattice of palmettes, floral rosettes, stylized shrubs, and scrolling vines that unfold rhythmically across a rich camel-toned field. Delicately abrashed shades of powder blue, midnight indigo, celadon, and ivory add a painterly dimension, imbuing the composition with depth and subtle movement.

Set within an opulent series of borders, the field is framed by an elegant main band adorned with classic Persian cartouches and floral sprays, all rendered in a restrained, harmonious palette. The intricate detailing and the grace of the drawing speak to the artistry of the Kermani weavers at the turn of the 20th century, whose work was celebrated for both technical finesse and poetic composition.

Time has graced this piece with a patina that enhances its character, allowing the muted tones and gentle wear to resonate with quiet grandeur. Ideal for formal interiors or refined contemporary settings, this antique Kirman rug is not only a decorative statement but also a testament to the enduring legacy of Persian textile artistry.
