Antique Kirman Persian Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB5559 10'7" × 15'2" $70,000

This exquisite Persian Kirman rug from the early 20th century embodies the refined artistry and meticulous craftsmanship for which Kirman weaving centers were celebrated. Its field presents an intricate allover pattern of stylized blossoms, scrolling vines, and rosettes, rendered in a harmonious interplay of earthy tones—soft beige, camel, and ivory—set against a deep midnight brown ground. Accents of muted seafoam and celadon lend subtle freshness, balancing the warm, aged palette.

The composition is anchored by a striking border system: a broad main band of scrolling palmettes and arabesques in terracotta and ochre, flanked by multiple narrow guard borders adorned with meandering floral motifs. The interplay between the dense lattice of the field and the richly ornamented border creates a sense of rhythm and visual depth characteristic of the finest Kirman weavings.

Woven circa 1900, this rug reflects both durability and elegance, with fine knotting that allows for detailed floral articulation. Its time-softened colors and patina give it a distinguished, almost painterly quality, making it as much a work of art as a floor covering.

Measuring generously, this antique Kirman rug would be ideally suited for a grand interior, lending warmth, sophistication, and a touch of Persian history to any space.
