Antique Malayer Persian Allover Geometric Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB6417 5'6" × 8'10" $12,000

This exquisite antique Persian Kirman rug, dating back to the early 20th century, exemplifies the artistry and refinement for which Kirman weaving is celebrated. Its field is adorned with a mesmerizing allover lattice of diminutive boteh and diamond-shaped motifs, rendered in a subtle yet sophisticated palette of warm browns, soft ivories, and muted terracotta. The small-scale repeating design creates a shimmering, almost textural effect that draws the viewer into its intricacy.

Framing the field is a beautifully balanced border system, where stylized palmettes and angular vine scrolls in ivory and deep chocolate brown provide a striking contrast to the dense pattern of the field. The delicate interplay of geometric repetition and organic border motifs reflects the Kirman weavers’ mastery in harmonizing precision with decorative fluidity.

Hand-knotted in wool, the rug bears the characteristic fineness and durability of Kirman craftsmanship. Its restrained palette and intricate detailing make it not only a collector’s piece but also a versatile addition to both traditional and contemporary interiors.
