Kirman Persian Antique Floral Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB7808 12'6" × 20'8" $130,000

Hand-knotted in Persia circa 1920, this antique Kirman rug presents the refined allover floral language for which the region is prized. Rather than a single central medallion, the composition is built from repeating crest-shaped reserves that settle into a disciplined lattice across the field.

The warm tan ground is enlivened by deep teal passages, rust accents, and layers of light beige blossoms, giving the design both clarity and softness. Each medallion holds a small botanical device, while the surrounding trellis creates a rhythmic backdrop of rosettes and scrolling vinery.

A more elaborate border frames the field with winding leaves and palmettes, echoing the movement inside without overpowering it. Worn detail and a quiet antique patina lend this Persian carpet a relaxed presence, making it especially suited to interiors that value formal structure, floral ornament, and an understated palette.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of traditional weaving artistry.
