Kirman Persian Antique Floral Allover Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB7567 9'1" × 17'9" $75,000

This exquisite 1880’s Antique Persian Kirman Rug showcases the unmatched artistry of late 19th-century Kerman weaving. Rendered in a refined palette of soft sky blue, warm camel, ivory, and gentle gold, the rug presents an intricate allover floral trellis design, enriched by scrolling vinery and palmettes that radiate classical Persian elegance. Two mirrored central medallions anchor the composition, seamlessly integrated into a dense field of blossoming flora, creating a harmonious sense of symmetry and flow.

The spacious border system is a masterpiece in itself, with a broad camel-ground main border adorned with latticework lozenges and stylized floral sprays, framed by delicate ivory guard borders featuring continuous meandering vines. The intricate corner spandrels and meticulously balanced border motifs frame the field like a work of fine jewelry, emphasizing both structure and ornamentation.

Hand-knotted in wool with remarkable finesse, this rug embodies the luxurious craftsmanship for which Kirman weavers were celebrated. The fine weave and nuanced color abrash lend a sense of depth and texture, while the soft, time-mellowed hues reflect over a century of graceful aging. Measuring an impressive size, it would make a striking foundation for a grand interior, equally suited to traditional or eclectic spaces seeking historic authenticity and refined beauty.
