Antique Kirman Persian Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB0772 11'9" × 18'5" $90,000

This antique Persian Kirman rug, circa 1900, is a hand-knotted example of the celebrated weaving tradition of southeastern Persia, where finely worked florals and elegant allover schemes reached a remarkable level of refinement. Its scale and restraint make it especially adaptable in formal interiors.

The soft beige field is organized by a dense trellis-like layout of oversized boteh forms, each laced with scrolling vines, palmettes, and foliate arabesques. The repeated oval rhythm gives the design a tapestry-like continuity, while dark blue and indigo outlines sharpen the composition and keep the pattern legible from across a room.

A richly worked border in navy, slate blue, and muted rust frames the field with paisley and floral ornament, giving the composition a formal architectural finish. Subtle olive and taupe notes soften the palette, allowing this antique Persian rug to settle easily into traditional or contemporary rooms where quiet authority and decorative depth are equally valued.

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.
