Kirman Persian Antique Floral Allover Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 BB7255 11'9" × 17'0" $95,000

This antique Kirman Persian carpet, woven circa 1900, reflects the refined floral weaving tradition of Kerman in southeastern Persia. Hand-knotted in wool, it belongs to the family of formal antique Persian rugs admired for their clarity of drawing and composed elegance.

The design unfolds across a muted beige field with a vertical medallion axis and an intricate allover scatter of scrolling vines, palmettes, blossoms, and leafy sprays. A subtle trellis-like structure organizes the botanical ornament, while the layered border system lends the composition an orderly, architectural frame. Rather than feeling dense, the pattern reads with a lace-like lightness that allows each motif to stand out.

Dusty blue, teal, and soft brown accents settle into the worn cream ground, creating a restrained palette enriched by age and patina. An indigo outer border adds definition and depth, giving the carpet a grounded presence without overpowering the room. This antique Kirman rug offers a calm, sophisticated focal point for traditional, transitional, or layered contemporary interiors.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug exemplifies superior artistry, historic character, and timeless sophistication. DLB is internationally recognized for offering exceptional antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs of remarkable quality and provenance.
