Antique Kirman Persian Floral Allover Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1920 BB7991 10'8" × 16'3" $85,000

This exquisite 1920s Persian Kirman rug embodies the timeless artistry and refinement for which Kirman weavings are celebrated. Hand-knotted in wool, the rug features a beautifully balanced all-over botanical design, where scrolling vines, floral sprays, and palmettes unfold in harmonious symmetry across a soft yet luminous field.

The color palette is gracefully aged, with muted tones of rose, ivory, teal, and faded indigo, giving the rug an elegant patina that reflects nearly a century of history. The interplay of delicate pastels and earthier undertones lends the piece a romantic, almost watercolor-like quality—ideal for adding both warmth and sophistication to interiors.

The border frames the composition with rhythmic cartouches and stylized floral motifs, anchoring the more intricate field design while maintaining visual fluidity. Despite its age, the rug retains remarkable detail and depth, revealing the finesse of master weavers from Kirman, one of Persia’s most renowned weaving centers.

With its grand size, this Kirman carpet was likely commissioned for an important interior, where it would have served as both a decorative focal point and a symbol of prestige. Today, it makes a statement of refined luxury and timeless beauty, blending effortlessly into both traditional and modern settings.
