About the Item
Oversized Exquisite 1880s Oversized Antique Persian Kirman Rug
Size: 14'10" × 22'3" (452 × 678 cm)
This magnificent oversized antique Kirman rug, woven in Persia during the 1880s, is a masterclass in artistry, balance, and enduring beauty. Measuring an impressive 23' × 15'1" (701 × 460 cm), the rug displays an extraordinary all-over design that highlights the technical prowess and aesthetic finesse of Kirman weavers during the late 19th century.
The field is richly decorated with an intricate lattice of floral medallions and palmettes, framed by ornate vine scrolls and arabesques. This dense yet harmoniously spaced pattern is characteristic of Kirman craftsmanship, where botanical motifs are arranged in elegant symmetry across a rich navy blue backdrop. Each repeating floral unit is intricately rendered in shades of soft beige, pale sand, muted teal, and faded turquoise—colors that have gracefully mellowed over time to a serene, almost watercolor-like palette.
The main border features large stylized rosettes and intertwining vines, offering a regal frame that complements the central design. Narrower guard borders echo similar motifs, creating a seamless rhythm that enhances the rug’s architectural presence.
Woven with exceptional-quality wool and time-honored techniques, this Kirman rug has a luminous sheen and delicate patina that speaks to its age and authenticity. Despite its grand scale, the composition remains refined, with an aesthetic delicacy that allows it to breathe even in vast spaces.
Whether placed in a formal drawing room, a grand entryway, or as a central statement in a contemporary interior, this antique Persian Kirman is more than a floor covering—it is a historical work of art with timeless elegance.
This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
