Antique Kirman Persian Allover Floral Oversized Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB6126 16'6" × 24'9" $270,000

This exquisite oversized antique Persian Kirman rug, dating back to the 1920s, exemplifies the celebrated artistry and finesse of Persian weaving. Crafted in the historic city of Kirman, a region long renowned for producing some of the most refined and intricate carpets in the Persian tradition, this rug is a masterpiece of both scale and design.

Woven by hand with high-quality wool, the rug features a richly detailed botanical design arranged in a grand, allover pattern. Intertwining vines, palmettes, and stylized floral motifs unfold across the expansive field in a soft, muted color palette dominated by delicate shades of ivory, dusty aqua, faded terracotta, and gentle sand tones. These faded hues lend the rug a luminous, ethereal character, enhanced by its subtle patina from age and use, adding a layer of historical depth and character.

The border is composed of several nested bands filled with intricate flower heads and vine scrolls, providing a harmonious frame that complements the central composition. The scale of the rug, with its generous proportions and rhythmic repetition of patterns, allows for an immersive visual experience, making it ideal for large interior spaces that require both presence and grace.

An outstanding example of Persian textile heritage, this antique Kirman rug not only serves as a floor covering but also as a sophisticated decorative statement. It reflects the artistic traditions of early 20th-century Persian craftsmanship and remains a timeless investment for collectors and designers alike.
