Kirman Persian Antique Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 (Size Adjusted) BB6600 12'3" × 19'3" $95,000

This antique Persian Kirman rug, woven circa 1900 in the celebrated Kirman tradition, presents a refined allover floral composition with the poise and intricacy associated with turn-of-the-century Persian weaving. Hand-knotted in a warm tan palette, it brings together historical elegance and an unusually rhythmic decorative surface.

Rather than a single central medallion, the field unfolds in a dense trellis of scrolling vines, palmettes, rosettes, and stylized blossoms. Cinnamon brown and soft beige shapes create a richly layered ground, while dusty blue and ivory accents sharpen the floral drawing and keep the pattern legible. The effect is formal, yet fluid, with a painterly density that softens the architecture of the room.

A broad border in coordinated blue tones frames the composition with floral cartouches and repeating rosettes, reinforcing the rug’s balanced, courtly presence. Ideal for interiors that call for warmth and ornament without heaviness, this Kirman antique rug offers the versatility to anchor substantial furnishings while still lending the room a finely articulated sense of history.

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.
