Antique Kirman Persian Floral Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB9025 11'4" × 11'9" $75,000

This antique Persian Kirman rug, hand-knotted in wool around 1900, reflects the region’s refined approach to formal carpet design. Instead of a central medallion, the composition is organized as an allover trellis, with stepped lattice cells unfolding across a warm tan field.

Within each compartment, sparse floral sprigs and small geometric details appear in a deliberately restrained manner, creating a pattern that feels architectural rather than ornate. The drawing is softened by age, so the repeat reads with a quiet, timeworn grace instead of sharp contrast.

Warm tan and light beige dominate the surface, while faded navy blue traces the borders and lattice lines, giving the rug its structure and subtle depth. Multiple borders frame the field with clear hierarchy, balancing the relaxed rhythm of the interior with the discipline of a classic Kirman weave. It is an antique Persian rug that brings order, texture, and understated character to formal rooms and layered interiors alike.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug represents the caliber of craftsmanship and cultural heritage the gallery has championed since its founding in 1965. With six decades of expertise, Doris Leslie Blau remains a premier destination for rare and extraordinary rugs across a wide range of styles and price points.
