Antique Kirman Persian Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB1790 13'8" × 17'7" $85,000

This antique Persian Kirman rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1880, comes from one of Persia’s most esteemed weaving centers. Its allover composition forgoes a single focal medallion in favor of a disciplined trellis field, giving the carpet a formal yet fluid presence that feels distinctly Kirman and immediately adaptable to refined interiors.

A soft beige ground is animated by a navy lattice packed with stylized blossoms, palmettes, and crest-like forms, while muted rose, pale sand, and dusty blue accents soften the drawing. The repeating floral units create steady movement across the field, balancing ornament with generous negative space.

A layered border frames the design with leafy vinework and small floral guards, adding architectural clarity to the composition. The result is a Persian floral rug with antique patina and quietly decorative character, well suited to formal rooms, layered transitional schemes, or collections that value classic Kirman craftsmanship.
