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

This antique Persian Kirman carpet, woven circa 1920, reflects the refined floral tradition for which Kerman workshops are prized. Hand-knotted in wool, it presents a quietly elegant allover composition that feels formal without becoming heavy.

The light beige field is layered with a compartmented medallion lattice, scrolling vines, palmettes, and lobed cartouches, all handled with the soft intricacy associated with fine Kirman weaving. Dusty blue, soft red, warm tan, and muted taupe drift across the surface in a faded, almost watercolor-like palette, allowing the design to breathe while preserving its detail.

A defined multi-border system frames the interior with rhythmic floral and foliate ornament, reinforcing the rug’s balanced architecture. The result is a graceful antique Persian rug with enough pattern to anchor a room, yet enough restraint to suit traditional, transitional, or collected interiors.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug represents the caliber of craftsmanship and cultural heritage the gallery has championed since its founding in 1965. With six decades of expertise, Doris Leslie Blau remains a premier destination for rare and extraordinary rugs across a wide range of styles and price points.
