Kirman Persian Antique Allover Floral Pale Sand Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB8584 11'10" × 22'2" $135,000

This exquisite antique Persian Kirman rug, handwoven in the early 20th century, showcases the refined artistry and balanced elegance for which Kirman weavers are celebrated. Set against a soft ivory-beige ground, the design unfolds in a harmonious all-over pattern of stylized floral bouquets and fruiting branches, delicately rendered in shades of soft blue, navy, and subtle camel.

Graceful boteh-like sprays and vases, brimming with blossoms and grape clusters, repeat across the field with a rhythmic symmetry, evoking both abundance and serenity. Interspersed among the florals, charming avian motifs add a touch of whimsy and movement. The spacious layout, with its airy negative space, enhances the rug’s sense of lightness and refinement.

Framing the central design is a wide border adorned with scrolling floral vines and rosettes, echoing the palette and motifs of the field while grounding the composition. The rug’s subdued colors, softened by time, now exude a warm, understated patina—testament to its age and craftsmanship.

Hand-knotted in fine wool, this Kirman is not merely a floor covering but a work of art, embodying the sophisticated aesthetic of Persian weaving from the 1900s. Its generous scale and graceful palette make it ideal for an elegant salon, dining room, or gallery setting.
