Oversized Kirman Persian Antique Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB8862 15'7" × 25'4" $160,000

This antique Persian Kirman rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1920, reflects the refined weaving tradition of one of Persia’s most celebrated carpet-producing centers. Its long proportions and formal structure give it an elegant presence suited to both classic and collected interiors.

The design unfolds across a warm tan field in a disciplined trellis of floral medallion-like intersections, with navy blue defining the lattice and lending contrast to the softer ground. Rather than a single focal point, the composition relies on an allover repeat that feels architectural and rhythmic. A pronounced border hierarchy frames the field with botanical ornament and arabesque detail, while the gently worn surface softens the pattern and allows the negative space to read with particular grace.

Subtle beige, camel, and dark brown tones temper the deeper blue, creating a palette that feels understated yet dimensional. With its balanced ornament and Arts and Crafts resonance, this antique Kirman brings quiet formality to a dining room, library, or transitional living space.

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.
