Antique Kirman Persian Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB5299 4'9" × 7'0" $14,000

This early 20th-century Persian Kirman rug showcases the artistry and elegance that made Kirman weavings some of the most admired in the Persian tradition. Hand-knotted in fine wool, the rug features an allover boteh (paisley) design, each motif carefully interlocked to form a rhythmic, repeating pattern across the field. The boteh, an ancient Persian symbol often associated with fertility, eternity, and the flame of life, lends both cultural depth and timeless beauty to the composition.

The palette is a harmonious blend of soft sand, faded indigo, and muted sky blue, with gentle variations in tone that reveal the passage of time and add dimension to the design. A border of scrolling vines and stylized floral forms frames the boteh field, grounding the composition with balance and refinement.

The overall impression is one of quiet sophistication — a piece that captures both the intricate precision and the romantic patina of antique Kirman craftsmanship. Its muted colors and elegant repetition make it a versatile decorative rug, equally at home in classical, transitional, or contemporary interiors.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
