Antique Kirman Persian Allover Floral Oversized Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB6126 16'6" × 24'9" $270,000

Antique Persian Kirman rug, circa 1920, woven in the celebrated Kerman tradition, with a hand-knotted wool pile and an oversized format made for generous interiors. Its light beige ground has softened beautifully with age, giving the piece a restrained, atmospheric presence while preserving the refinement for which Kirman carpets are known.

The allover composition layers scrolling vines, palmettes, rosettes, and floral sprays in faded dusty blue, pale gray, and warm taupe, with occasional touches of soft brown. Rather than a single dominant medallion, the field reads as a graceful floral tapestry, lightly organized by an almost-hidden medallion structure that lends rhythm without interrupting the calm surface.

A narrow hierarchy of borders frames the design with floral bands that echo the field and reinforce its formal balance. This is a quietly elegant antique Persian floral rug, ideal for rooms that call for visual texture, muted color, and historic character—an anchoring layer that complements traditional, transitional, and softly modern interiors.

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.
