Antique Kirman Allover Hand-Knotted Silk Rug BB9260 10'4" × 14'3"

This antique Kirman silk rug, woven in Persia circa 1920, reflects the refined carpet tradition of Kerman in the early twentieth century. Hand-knotted in silk, it combines fine workmanship with the elaborate decorative language for which Kirman rugs are prized.

Its deep navy field is filled with an allover arrangement of floral medallions, roundels, and dense vine work, creating a richly ordered surface that feels both formal and fluid. The repeating motifs are rendered in dusty pink, rose, blush beige, and soft taupe, which soften the dark ground and lend the composition a luminous, painterly depth. Each compartment holds its own botanical variation, giving the antique Persian rug a sense of movement without losing balance.

A narrow, intricately worked border frames the design with scrolling flowers and foliate reserves, echoing the field in a slightly lighter register. The overall effect is elegant and collected, a silk Kirman carpet that brings color, texture, and historic character to a classic interior.

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.
