Kirman Persian Antique Floral Allover Dusty Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB8898 13'9" × 20'5" $95,000

This exceptional early 20th-century Persian Kirman rug epitomizes the elegance, complexity, and fine artistry that define the celebrated weaving tradition of Kerman. It features an intricate medallion-and-corner design that seamlessly integrates with an allover field of scrolling palmettes, delicate vines, and stylized floral sprays. The composition flows in a symmetrical yet organic rhythm, demonstrating both technical precision and artistic fluidity.

The palette is a harmonious blend of soft camel and muted blush tones, punctuated with accents of midnight and sky blue, ivory, and hints of slate. This understated color story, combined with subtle abrash, gives the rug a graceful patina that reflects its age and authenticity. The expansive main border showcases a procession of palmettes and ornate floral motifs set within meandering vine scrolls, framed by guard borders of intricate rosettes and leafy tendrils.

Hand-knotted from fine, lustrous wool, the rug offers a dense, supple pile and exceptional durability, making it as functional as it is beautiful. Its grand proportions, refined detailing, and timeless elegance make it a commanding focal point for formal living rooms, grand foyers, or refined reception spaces.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
