About the Item
Over-sized Vintage Persian Kirman handmade wool rug
Size: 16'2" × 19'0" (492 × 579 cm).
This majestic antique Persian Kirman rug, dating back to the 1880s, is a stunning testament to the craftsmanship and artistic expression of 19th-century Persian weaving. Hand-knotted in wool, this oversized piece is an exquisite example of classical Kirman design, known for its refined drawing, intricate detailing, and harmonious color palettes.
The rug features an elaborate botanical and curvilinear composition, densely packed with stylized floral motifs, rosettes, and palmettes, forming an overall symmetrical garden of paradise. At the heart of the field is a grand, subtly articulated central medallion with surrounding mirrored floral scrolls and foliage, gently radiating outward.
The warm terracotta and rich rust ground is beautifully contrasted with accents of navy blue, ivory, soft greens, and pale blues, creating a sense of depth and regal elegance. A particularly notable design element is the lavish wide border system filled with palmettes, flowerheads, and ornate vine scrolls, framed by multiple minor borders that add structure and balance to the visual rhythm.
What sets this Kirman apart is not only its scale but the delicate precision of its weave and the beautifully aged patina, which lends it a softness and character developed over nearly a century and a half.
Ideal for formal living areas, grand dining rooms, or luxury interior spaces, this antique Kirman rug is more than a floor covering—it's a work of art that carries forward the enduring legacy of Persian textile excellence.
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.
