Antique Kirman Persian Allover Floral Rug In Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool – Circa 1870 BB7463 6'7" × 12'10" $38,000

Antique Persian Kirman rug, circa 1870, hand-knotted in wool and woven in one of Persia’s most distinguished carpet centers. It belongs to the classic Kirman tradition, admired for its refined drawing, layered ornament, and courtly sense of balance.

Rather than a single medallion, the composition unfolds as an allover floral field, with repeating vase-like boteh forms set in staggered registers. Delicate vines, palmettes, and trelliswork thread across the surface, giving the design a steady rhythm and a richly textile feel. Warm tan and dark earthy tones are enlivened by burgundy, teal, and soft beige accents, creating depth without losing harmony.

A formal multi-band border frames the interior with rosettes, blossoms, and small geometric details, reinforcing the rug’s architectural structure. Elegant yet grounded, this antique Kirman brings historic Persian character to traditional interiors and offers enough visual complexity to anchor transitional rooms with ease.

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.
