Kirman Persian Antique Medallion Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB6370 12'5" × 18'7" $32,000

This magnificent Antique Persian Kirman Rug from the 1920s is a true testament to the artistry and refinement of Persian weaving. Woven in the famed Kirman workshops, it exudes both grandeur and subtle sophistication, making it a centerpiece of timeless elegance.

The rug features an elaborate all-over medallion design, framed by multiple guard borders that enhance its visual harmony. The field is rendered in a soft parchment-beige, intricately adorned with scrolling vines, rosettes, palmettes, and stylized floral sprays, all delicately drawn with the finesse characteristic of Kirman weavers. Shades of deep indigo, muted terracotta, and faded sky blue bring depth and contrast, while the finely detailed floral lattice lends an almost lace-like delicacy to the composition.

The corner spandrels in rich indigo anchor the central design, while the grand border ensemble provides a sense of opulence and balance. The interplay of light and dark tones creates a subtle patina, enhanced by nearly a century of gentle aging, giving the rug a distinguished and lived-in beauty.

Crafted in the early 20th century, this piece exemplifies the grace and versatility of Kirman rugs, which were highly prized in both Persian courts and Western interiors for their durability, intricacy, and artistic depth. Its generous size makes it ideal for a formal living room, dining hall, or gallery space where it can be appreciated in its full grandeur.

This Kirman rug embodies refinement, tradition, and enduring artistry, standing as a beautiful relic of Persian weaving heritage.
