Antique Kirman Persian Floral Allover In Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB8582 12'10" Ã— 16'0" $60,000

This antique Persian Kirman rug, woven circa 1880, is a hand-knotted wool carpet from one of Persia’s most esteemed weaving centers. Its late 19th-century origins are reflected in the graceful drawing and disciplined composition, where formal structure is softened by time into a serene, layered surface.

A muted beige field carries an allover medallion-and-crest arrangement, with floral and foliate forms that seem to drift across the ground rather than assert themselves. The border system remains visible, framing the interior with a quiet rhythm of scrolling ornament, while traces of dusty rose, pale gold, and light taupe lend warmth to the restrained palette.

The result is a Kirman rug with a refined, antique presence: decorative enough for a formal room, yet understated enough to ground a more contemporary interior. Its softened contrast and painterly patina give the floral pattern depth without visual weight, making it an appealing choice for collectors and designers drawn to Persian rugs with historic character.

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.
