Antique Kirman Persian Floral Allover Ivory Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1930 BB7911 9'0" × 12'3" $28,000

This exquisite antique Persian Kirman rug, handwoven in the 1930s, beautifully exemplifies the artistry and refinement for which Kirman weavers are renowned. Its spacious field is richly ornamented with an all-over pattern of floral medallions and palmettes, set against a deep ruby-red ground. The luminous palette—dominated by rich crimson, midnight and sky blues, ivory, and soft golden-beige—creates a striking yet harmonious interplay of color.

The intricate design features interlocking floral sprays, stylized blossoms, and scrolling arabesques, arranged in a balanced, rhythmic composition. The main border, decorated with meandering vines and rosettes, elegantly frames the dense field, enhancing the sense of depth and movement throughout the carpet.

Crafted from finely knotted wool, the rug displays both durability and a luxurious texture, hallmarks of Kirman weaving from this period. Its large size (approx. 12’ x 9’) makes it ideal as a statement piece for a grand interior, while its timeless elegance ensures versatility in both classical and contemporary settings.

This antique Kirman rug is more than a decorative furnishing—it is a work of art that embodies the cultural heritage, technical mastery, and aesthetic sophistication of early 20th-century Persian weaving.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
