Antique Kirman Persian Allover Floral Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB8051 13'5" × 17'9" $65,000

This exquisite antique Kirman rug from the turn of the 20th century exemplifies the elegance and refinement for which Persian Kirman weavings are celebrated. Handwoven in southeastern Iran, the rug features an intricately detailed allover botanical design rendered in a soft yet luminous palette of ivory, rose, sky blue, sapphire, and garnet red.

The field is richly ornamented with a lattice of scrolling vines, palmettes, stylized blossoms, and delicate leaves, arranged in perfect symmetry. The composition achieves a rare balance of movement and harmony, where each motif seems to grow organically from the next. Surrounding the field is a series of multiple guard borders crowned by a wide main border with radiant floral medallions and arabesques, adding depth and grandeur to the piece.

Executed with the meticulous craftsmanship characteristic of Kirman workshops, this rug boasts a fine weave and wool of exceptional quality, resulting in both durability and a soft, luminous surface. Its elegant proportions make it ideally suited as the centerpiece of a grand interior, from traditional to contemporary.

Antique Kirman carpets of this scale and artistry are increasingly rare to find, making this rug not only a statement of beauty but also a valuable collectible that reflects the sophistication of Persian weaving at the height of its artistry.
