Antique Kirman Persian Floral Allover Pale Sand Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1920 BB7199 11'10" × 15'10" $95,000

This antique Persian Kirman carpet, woven circa 1920, belongs to the refined floral weaving tradition of southeastern Persia. Hand-knotted in wool, it reflects the formal balance and decorative clarity that have long made Kirman rugs so admired by collectors and interior designers.

At its heart, a medallion-and-corner layout is set within a dense field of scrolling vinery, palmettes, and small blossoms. The mirrored composition feels architectural, with a composed central axis and layered borders that frame the design without overwhelming it. Age has softened the outlines, lending the pattern a quiet, timeworn elegance.

The palette is especially restrained: pale sand, softened ivory, dusty blue, taupe, and muted navy create a low-contrast surface that reads serene rather than ornate. That subtle coloration allows the carpet to ground traditional rooms, temper formal settings, and add character to transitional interiors with ease.

A treasured piece from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug embodies the gallery's longstanding commitment to sourcing carpets of exceptional artistry and historical significance. DLB offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, welcoming collectors and designers at every level.
