Antique Kirman Persian Allover Floral Pale Sand Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7380 11'2" × 17'6" $95,000

An elegant early-20th-century Kirman of impressive dimensions (11′2″ × 17′6″), this rug exemplifies the refined and formal botanical style for which Kirman weavers are celebrated.

The field is bathed in a serene ice-blue ground, over which graceful swags of flowering vines, trailing leaves, and delicate botanical ornamentation unfold with rhythmic harmony.

Framing the central field is a border in a condensed floral cartouche motif: polychrome blossoms set between vine stripes in softer light blues and warm browns that provide both contrast and cohesion.

This piece also offers a nuanced range of accent colors — from ivory highlights and touches of magenta to saffron/golden tones — which emerge in the details, giving the overall palette a quietly luminous depth.

Hand-woven in wool, this Kirman rug balances decorative opulence with softness of character. Its scale, detailed botanical design, and elegant color interplay make it an exceptional piece — perfect as a centerpiece in a grand room, or as the defining statement in a sophisticated interior.

This rug from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection is not only a collectible statement of refined taste and exceptional craftsmanship—it is also a rare survival of the modernist movement as interpreted through Persian textile tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
