Kirman Persian Antique Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB7645 14'8" × 17'1" $120,000

This magnificent antique Persian Kirman rug, dating back to the 1920s, exemplifies the masterful artistry and refined elegance for which Kirman weavers are renowned. Measuring an impressive 17 x 15 ft, the carpet is a true statement piece, ideally suited for a grand interior.

The field is covered with an allover scrolling floral pattern, composed of graceful palmettes, rosettes, cloud bands, and vinery, all seamlessly interwoven to create a harmonious and continuous rhythm. Rendered in a soft palette of faded sky blue, ivory, beige, and touches of cocoa brown, the design emanates a subtle yet regal presence, its colors gently muted with age into a dreamlike patina.

The multiple borders frame the composition with exquisite balance: a wide main border of flowering shrubs and floral medallions is enclosed by narrower guard stripes decorated with delicate rosettes and stylized blossoms. The interplay of light and airy tones with the intricate botanical motifs gives the rug an ethereal quality while maintaining the richness typical of Kirman craftsmanship.

Handwoven from finely knotted wool, this carpet showcases the exceptional skill of early 20th-century Persian artisans. Its size, detail, and timeless elegance make it not only a floor covering but also a work of art—ideal for elevating a large salon, library, or formal dining space.

This antique Kirman rug embodies the best qualities of Persian weaving traditions: grandeur, delicacy, and enduring beauty.
