Kirman Persian Antique Allover Floral Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7466 10'5" × 20'0" $95,000

Woven in Persia around 1900, this antique Kirman rug is a hand-knotted wool carpet from the celebrated Kerman weaving tradition. Its long, formal format is organized around an allover floral lattice, giving the piece the poised, architectural character for which antique Persian rugs from Kirman are prized.

The dark navy field is densely worked with a repeating botanical trellis of diamond-shaped nodes, scrolling vines, palmettes, and rosettes. Warm beige, taupe, and soft tan motifs create clear contrast against the ground, while the pattern remains finely balanced and uninterrupted. Rather than a single central medallion, the design unfolds in measured repetition, lending the rug a refined rhythm and a richly layered surface.

A narrow inner guard and wider main border frame the composition with additional floral ornament, keeping the layout formal and controlled. The result is a versatile antique floral rug with enough presence to anchor a dining room, gallery hall, or reception space, yet enough elegance to sit comfortably within both traditional and transitional interiors.

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.
