Kirman Persian Antique Allover Floral Warm Tan With Navy Blue Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7239 11'7" × 24'0" $130,000

This antique early 20th-century Kirman Persian rug, hand-knotted in wool, reflects the refined weaving tradition of Kerman in southeastern Persia. Its presentation is classic and measured, with the elegance collectors associate with antique Persian rugs from this celebrated region.

Against a warm tan field, the design unfolds in an orderly allover trellis of botanical motifs, floral rosettes, palmettes, and boteh-like forms. The repeating structure gives the composition a steady rhythm, while the delicate drawing keeps it from feeling rigid. Soft light blue and navy blue details add definition and contrast, lending the surface a quietly ornamented character.

A richly worked floral border frames the field with complementary density, reinforcing the rug’s formal balance and antique presence. The softened palette and layered pattern make it especially versatile for interiors that call for texture, warmth, and traditional Persian detail without a single focal medallion.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug reflects the gallery's longstanding dedication to preserving the finest examples of carpet artistry from around the world. Its remarkable craftsmanship and patina make it both a decorative statement and a collectible work of art.
