Antique Kirman Persian Floral Allover Ivory Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1930 BB7911 9'0" × 12'3" $28,000

Hand-knotted in Persia circa 1930, this antique Kirman carpet reflects the celebrated weaving tradition of Kerman, where fine wool and layered ornament were translated into carpets of remarkable clarity and polish.

Rather than a single central medallion, the composition settles into an allover trellis of floral rosettes and crest-like forms, each outlined in ivory against a rich ruby-red ground. Navy blue, teal, and soft beige details give the pattern depth, while the repeating geometry keeps the surface ordered and balanced. A broad floral border frames the field with meandering vines and small blossoms, reinforcing the rug’s formal symmetry.

The result is a Persian antique rug with both structure and movement: intricate enough to reward close looking, yet calm enough to anchor a room. Its warm crimson palette and refined hand-knotted wool texture make it especially appealing for interiors that call for tradition, color, and a composed decorative presence.

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.
