Antique Kirman Persian Floral Allover Pale Sand Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1920 BB7199 11'10" × 15'10" $95,000

This grand 1920s Persian Kirman rug is a magnificent testament to the opulence and refinement of early 20th-century Persian weaving. Spanning over 16 feet in length, it features a regal medallion-and-corner layout, surrounded by a rich and expressive botanical field. The rug’s design is intricately composed with scrolling vinery, palmettes, rosettes, and stylized floral sprays that seem to unfurl rhythmically across the surface like an elegant garden in full bloom.

The palette is refined and time-softened, showcasing earthy sand tones, pale camel, muted denim blues, faded indigo, and touches of dusty coral, which together lend the rug a calm yet regal character. The composition is anchored by a bold central medallion framed by intricately layered spandrels and an elaborate border structure rich in floral motifs and Herati-like elements.

Woven in the famed Kirman region—celebrated for its exceptional craftsmanship—this piece exemplifies the superb weave density and clarity of pattern associated with the finest antique Kirman rugs. Its luxurious wool pile has aged gracefully, with gentle abrash and patina adding further dimension and charm.

Whether placed in a formal setting or used to elevate a contemporary interior, this antique Kirman is an enduring work of art—steeped in history, graceful in design, and majestic in scale.
