Kirman Persian Antique Floral Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB7808 12'6" × 20'8" $130,000

This magnificent antique Persian Kirman rug from the 1920s embodies the refined artistry and unparalleled craftsmanship for which Kirman weaving is celebrated. Spanning an impressive 21 by 13 feet, the rug showcases a breathtaking allover design that combines fluid elegance with balanced symmetry.

The field is adorned with a series of elongated medallions, each enclosing delicate floral sprays, framed by intricate vinery and rosettes. These medallions are set against a lush ground of stylized blossoms and scrolling tendrils, creating a rhythmic interplay between order and abundance. The harmonious palette of muted golds, soft blues, and gentle earth tones lends the piece an aged, dignified patina that only time can bestow.

The spacious border amplifies the grandeur of the composition, featuring sweeping palmettes and intertwining vines that frame the central field with graceful continuity. Subtle abrash in the dyes adds depth and movement, enhancing the rug’s sense of organic vitality.

Woven in Kirman—a region renowned as one of Persia’s most important weaving centers—this carpet reflects the workshop tradition that flourished in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, producing works admired for their fineness of weave, complexity of design, and aristocratic presence.

Both decorative and collectible, this antique Kirman rug epitomizes timeless Persian elegance, making it an extraordinary statement piece for a grand interior.
