Antique Kirman Persian Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB6613 10'4" × 17'6" $65,000

This antique Persian Kirman rug, woven circa 1900 in the Kirman weaving tradition, is a hand-knotted wool carpet with an allover floral layout. Its warm tan ground has softened beautifully with age, creating a calm, timeworn surface that still preserves the structure and grace associated with fine Kerman weaving.

Across the field, mirrored floral sprays, palmettes, and small vine-form blossoms repeat in a measured rhythm, forming a trellis-like pattern that feels both orderly and airy. Dusty blue and teal outlines give the ornament definition, while ivory and sand-beige tones temper the design and keep the composition light rather than dense.

A broad border in deeper teal frames the rug with scrolling florals and rosettes, echoing the field motifs without overpowering them. Elegant and architectural, this Persian floral rug lends warmth, texture, and a sense of history to formal living rooms, dining spaces, or layered contemporary interiors.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug reflects the gallery's longstanding dedication to preserving the finest examples of carpet artistry from around the world. Its remarkable craftsmanship and patina make it both a decorative statement and a collectible work of art.
