Kirman Persian Antique Allover Floral Golden Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1880 BB2675 11'7" × 16'8" $41,000

This antique Persian Kirman carpet, woven circa 1880, belongs to the celebrated Kirman weaving tradition of Persia. Hand-knotted in wool, it presents a formal allover composition that feels both composed and airy, with the structure of a classical carpet and the softness of age.

The golden tan field is organized by an elegant oval trellis, each reserve enclosing a slender botanical sprig and surrounded by scrolling vines, palmettes, and crest-like flourishes. Deep teal, navy, ivory, and terracotta details animate the surface without disturbing its warmth, while the repeating motifs create a measured rhythm across the carpet.

A generous border reinforces the pattern hierarchy with floral bands and a richer dark-toned edge that frames the composition beautifully. The result is a Persian antique rug with formal presence and quiet versatility, well suited to a library, dining room, or layered transitional interior where texture, tradition, and subtle color are equally valued.

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.
