Antique Kirman Persian Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet BB5223 13'3" × 24'4" $105,000

This early 20th-century Persian Kirman carpet is hand-knotted in wool and belongs to the refined weaving tradition of southeastern Persia. Its formal structure is balanced and disciplined, yet softened by age into a mellow, livable antique presence.

A warm tan field is animated by a delicate allover floral lattice, where scrolling vines, rosettes, palmettes, and trellis-like links unfold in mirror-like harmony. A subdued central medallion is absorbed into the larger composition rather than isolated from it, giving the design a continuous, well-measured rhythm. Cool navy and slate blue accents add quiet contrast, while the faded beige and taupe ground keeps the overall effect airy and restrained.

Multiple borders frame the composition with clarity, including a floral main border and narrow guard bands that reinforce the rug’s architectural order. The result is a Persian antique rug with formal elegance and understated color, well suited to interiors that call for texture, history, and a composed decorative focal point.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of traditional weaving artistry.
