Kirman Persian Antique Floral Allover Ivory Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB8433 8'9" × 15'4" $53,000

This antique Persian Kirman rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1900, reflects the refined weaving tradition of Kerman in Persia. Its long format is organized with the poised formality collectors expect from antique Kirman carpets, where careful symmetry and ornamental density create a balance of elegance and restraint.

The field is filled with an intricate allover lattice of scrolling vines, palmettes, blossoms, and crest-like medallions set against a faded sapphire ground. Ivory and soft blue passages lighten the design, while hints of sage and blush bring a gentle, painterly warmth. The composition feels layered and rhythmic, yet never visually heavy.

An elaborate border of floral garlands, boteh-inspired elements, and leafy tendrils frames the center with subtle authority. The worn, time-softened surface enhances its antique character and makes this Kirman a versatile choice for traditional, transitional, or contemporary rooms seeking a floral Persian rug with depth, history, and quiet 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.
