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

This early-20th-century Persian Kirman floral rug, woven circa 1900, is a hand-knotted wool piece rooted in southeastern Persia’s refined carpet tradition. Its size-adjusted format preserves the elegance of a grand room carpet while making the design practical for today’s interiors.

The navy field is organized as an allover lattice of botanical forms rather than a single central medallion, giving the composition a steady, architectural flow. Delicate vinery, palmettes, blossoms, and crest-like motifs repeat across the surface in light beige, sky blue, teal, and warm tan, creating a detailed pattern that feels formal without becoming rigid.

A broad light beige border, animated by scrolling florals and guard bands, frames the field and softens the darker ground. The contrast between the deep blue center and the mellow border lends this Kirman clarity and warmth, while the finely drawn ornament reflects the sophisticated Persian decorative sensibility for which Kirman carpets are prized. It is especially effective in traditional, transitional, or collected rooms.

A treasured piece from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug embodies the gallery's longstanding commitment to sourcing carpets of exceptional artistry and historical significance.
