Antique Kirman Persian Floral Allover Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 (Size Adjusted) BB0631 12'8" × 25'5" $105,000

This exquisite Persian Kirman rug from the early 20th century exemplifies the celebrated artistry of Kirman weaving. Its sprawling field is adorned with a lush all-over pattern of scrolling vinery and floral motifs, rendered in soft shades of aqua, teal, sand, and indigo, creating a serene yet richly detailed composition.

The design is characterized by palmettes, blossoms, and arabesques, seamlessly interconnected by delicate tendrils that flow rhythmically across the surface. The cool, aquatic palette distinguishes this Kirman, with its harmonious interplay of turquoise blues and pale golds, evoking both elegance and tranquility.

Woven with fine wool, the rug demonstrates the exceptional craftsmanship for which Kirman weavers were renowned—tight knots, graceful curves, and fluid detailing that give the design both clarity and sophistication. Its all-over layout without a dominating central medallion speaks to the versatility of Kirman rugs, equally at home in traditional or modern interiors.

This rug from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection is not only a collectible statement of refined taste and exceptional craftsmanship—it is also a rare survival of the modernist movement as interpreted through Persian textile tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
