Antique Kirman Persian Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 BB7333 10'1" × 14'7" $30,000
$30,000
This antique Persian Kirman carpet, woven circa 1900 in Iran, is a hand-knotted wool rug from one of Persia’s most accomplished weaving traditions. Kirman carpets are prized for their refined drawing and balanced ornament, and this example shows that composure in a softly aged, highly decorative format.
The warm tan field is covered with an allover botanical repeat set into a subtle trellis structure, creating steady movement without a single focal medallion. Delicate floral sprays, palmettes, and leafy vines emerge in restrained teal, powder blue, taupe, and muted brown, lending the composition a gently layered, formal character. The design feels intricate yet airy, with the small-scale pattern remaining readable across the full surface.
A clear hierarchy of borders frames the interior with floral guards and narrow patterned bands that echo the rug’s cool accents. The muted palette and time-softened surface give the carpet a quiet patina that suits both traditional rooms and more contemporary spaces seeking pattern with understatement. It is a particularly elegant choice for interiors that benefit from depth, texture, and a collected Persian presence.
