Kirman Persian Antique Allover Floral Oversized Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1920 BB8114 15'2" × 24'0" $220,000

This magnificent antique Persian Kirman rug, dating back to the 1920s, is a superb example of the refined artistry and craftsmanship for which Kirman weavers are celebrated. Measuring an impressive size, it features an intricate allover design set against a luminous soft blue field, enriched with graceful floral sprays, stylized palmettes, and sinuous arabesques that create a sense of movement and harmony throughout the composition.

The central field is framed by a striking crimson border, densely adorned with blossoming vines and floral motifs in shades of ivory, rose, and sage, beautifully complemented by guard stripes of soft sky blue with scrolling accents. The delicate interplay of colors—ranging from rich burgundy and crimson to pale celadon, beige, and subtle gold—enhances the rug’s elegant, almost painterly quality.

Kirman rugs of this period are prized for their exceptional wool, fine knotting, and artistic detail, and this piece is no exception. Its balanced design, sophisticated palette, and grand scale make it a timeless statement piece, well-suited for both traditional and contemporary interiors.

This antique Persian Kirman rug embodies the grace, sophistication, and enduring beauty that define the best of early 20th-century Persian weaving.
