Antique Kirman Persian Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB7733 10'10" × 15'10" $75,000

This antique Persian Kirman rug, woven circa 1880, reflects the refined floral weaving tradition of Kirman in southeastern Persia. Its softened, timeworn surface gives the composition an especially atmospheric quality, while the structure remains elegant and clearly articulated.

A soft beige ground sets the stage for a mirrored arrangement of vines, palmettes, and foliate sprays organized around a subtle medallion-like axis. The drawing is delicately worn, yet the layered border hierarchy and corner anchors still read beautifully, with dark navy accents punctuating the field and framing the composition with definition.

Muted dusty blue, rose, olive, and terracotta tones drift across the rug in a low-contrast palette that feels balanced and calm rather than ornate. As an antique Kirman Persian rug, it offers the disciplined symmetry and botanical detail prized by collectors, bringing formal character and a quietly aged patina to traditional or contemporary interiors.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug exemplifies superior artistry, historic character, and timeless sophistication. DLB is internationally recognized for offering exceptional antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs of remarkable quality and provenance.
