Kirman Persian Antique Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB6407 12'8" × 18'0" $95,000

This antique Persian Kirman rug from the early 1900s is an exquisite example of the artistry and craftsmanship for which Kirman weavers are celebrated. Rendered in a refined palette of muted blues, soft beiges, and gentle terracottas, the rug displays a sophisticated botanical garden design, unfolding across a grand compartmentalized field. Each rectangular panel contains its own unique arrangement of flowering branches, palmettes, and delicate vines, creating a harmonious interplay of symmetry and variety.

The central cross-axis lattice further emphasizes structure while allowing the eye to travel seamlessly across the garden-like expanse. Surrounding the field, a series of elegant borders—decorated with floral sprays and scrolling tendrils—frame the composition with grace and refinement.

Kirman rugs of this era are prized for their fine weave, balanced proportions, and painterly use of color, and this piece exemplifies these qualities. The restrained tones, softened by age, give the rug a serene, timeless beauty that complements both traditional and modern interiors.

With its majestic size, this carpet would have originally been commissioned for a grand interior, designed not just as a floor covering but as a work of art to define and elevate a space.
