Kirman Persian Antique Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB6391 8'8" × 10'10" $32,000

This antique Persian Kirman rug, circa 1920, is a hand-knotted wool example of one of Persia’s most admired floral weaving traditions. Its warm tan ground provides a mellow stage for a formal medallion composition, giving the piece the character of an antique carpet that is both decorative and quietly architectural.

At the center, an elongated crest-like medallion opens into scrolling vinery, palmettes, and finely drawn blossoms, all rendered in soft brown, dusty blue, sage, and light beige. The drawing remains detailed yet subdued, so the pattern reads with lyrical movement rather than sharp contrast, a hallmark of well-aged Kirman work.

A layered border system reinforces the composition with trailing foliage and floral sprays, echoing the field while framing it with clarity. The overall palette of warm tan and muted earth tones creates an inviting patina that suits formal living rooms, dining spaces, or any interior in need of a refined Persian antique rug.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug embodies the rich heritage and refined craftsmanship that define the world's most exceptional carpets.
