Antique Kirman Persian Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB8023 10'1" × 13'8" $43,000

This exquisite antique Persian Kirman rug from the 1920s showcases the refined artistry and meticulous craftsmanship that made Kirman one of the most celebrated weaving centers of Persia. Measuring generously, this rug envelops its field in a delicate interplay of floral arabesques, palmettes, and scrolling vines, arranged with perfect symmetry.

The design features an allover pattern of finely drawn floral motifs, enclosed by a series of decorative borders that frame the composition with elegance. The soft rose, blush, beige, and faded ivory tones impart a gentle, almost ethereal quality, giving the rug a time-softened patina that speaks to its age and authenticity. Subtle traces of pale blue and earthy accents lend further depth and nuance to the palette.

Hand-knotted in wool, the rug bears the hallmarks of Kirman weaving traditions—renowned for their intricacy, balanced proportions, and exceptional durability. The graceful composition, combined with its subdued, almost watercolor-like coloration, makes this piece especially versatile for both traditional interiors seeking historical charm and contemporary spaces desiring understated sophistication.

With nearly a century of history woven into its fibers, this antique Kirman rug is not merely a floor covering but a testament to Persian artistry and timeless elegance.
