Antique Kirman Persian Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB5594 12'7" × 18'1" $87,000

This antique Persian Kirman rug, woven circa 1900, reflects the refined floral tradition of Persia in hand-knotted wool. Its allover composition has no single medallion; instead, the design unfolds in a disciplined repeat that gives the piece a composed, architectural presence.

The warm tan field is densely covered with scrolling vines, rosettes, and stylized blossoms rendered in soft beige, dark navy, and muted rust. The pattern reads clearly from across a room yet rewards close viewing with its fine latticework and carefully layered botanical details. The effect is elegant rather than ornate, with a measured rhythm that feels both formal and inviting.

A substantial border system frames the field in brick red and warm terracotta tones, punctuated by floral reserves and narrow guard bands that reinforce the rug’s symmetry. Subtle blue and brown accents add depth without disturbing the restrained palette, making this Kirman carpet especially well suited to interiors that call for antique character, warmth, and pattern in equal measure.

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. DLB offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, welcoming collectors and designers at every level.
