Antique Kirman Persian Allover Floral Ivory Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1925 BB8218 10'5" × 18'0" $85,000

This exquisite Persian Kirman rug, dating back to the 1920s, is a superb example of the artistry and refinement for which Kirman weavers are renowned. Woven on a grand scale, the piece radiates elegance with its richly detailed floral motifs and harmonious palette.

The field is drenched in a deep, dignified indigo-blue ground, upon which a profusion of stylized blossoms, palmettes, leafy vines, and floral sprays are meticulously arranged. The graceful design incorporates both symmetrical and free-flowing elements, with delicate tendrils linking bouquets and stylized vases, creating a sense of natural abundance and movement.

The border complements the field beautifully, featuring a series of ornate guard bands enclosing a wider band adorned with bold floral medallions and scrolling arabesques in soft tones of ivory, rose, and muted gold. The contrast between the saturated navy ground and the lighter borders enhances the rug’s visual depth and refinement.

Kirman rugs of this period are celebrated for their fine weave, intricate detail, and sophisticated use of color, and this piece is no exception. Its timeless beauty and balanced composition make it not only a collector’s treasure but also a versatile furnishing capable of elevating both traditional and modern interiors.
