Kirman Persian Antique Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1910 BB7775 11'3" × 19'4" $95,000

This antique Persian Kirman rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1910, reflects the refined weaving tradition of southeastern Persia in a generously scaled format. Its softly beige field is lifted by muted blue, gray, taupe, and brown outlines, creating a pale, nuanced palette that feels calm rather than blank, and immediately softens a room.

At the center, a finely drawn medallion unfolds into a botanical composition of curling vines, palmettes, and flowering sprays, with the drawing becoming more atmospheric than crisp. The allover ornament is framed by layered borders that repeat the floral vocabulary in a quieter register, giving the rug a formal structure without sacrificing its worn, painterly grace.

That softened surface is part of the appeal: the antique patina blurs the pattern just enough to make the design easy to live with in traditional, transitional, or collected interiors. Elegant yet understated, this Kirman Persian antique rug brings history, texture, and a restrained decorative presence to the floor.

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.
