Antique Kirman Persian Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB8001 14'3" × 21'3" $130,000

This antique Persian Kirman rug was hand-knotted in Persia circa 1920, reflecting the region’s long tradition of refined, decorative weaving. Its generous format and elegant restraint make it an especially versatile Kirman, suited to interiors that call for historic character without visual heaviness.

A soft beige field provides the foundation for an allover floral network drawn in whispery blush, pale blue, and camel tones. Delicate vines, rosettes, palmettes, and foliate sprays unfold across the surface with measured rhythm, while the faint suggestion of a central medallion adds structure without interrupting the openness of the design.

The border remains equally disciplined, framing the composition with small-scale blossoms and scrolling ornament that preserve the rug’s balanced, antique Persian presence. Muted by age and beautifully quiet in palette, this Kirman brings warmth and softness to formal living rooms, understated dining spaces, and rooms layered with traditional or transitional furnishings.

A treasured piece from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug embodies the gallery's longstanding commitment to sourcing carpets of exceptional artistry and historical significance.
