About the Item
Antique Persian Kirman Carpet
Size: 17'3" × 26'0" (525 × 792 cm)
This monumental antique Persian Kirman carpet exemplifies the finest qualities of Persian weaving traditions. Woven in the historic city of Kerman—a region renowned for its technical mastery and artistic flourish—this oversized carpet is a masterpiece of complex design and harmonious color.
The field design features an expansive and intricate allover Herati and floral lattice pattern, composed of stylized palmettes, rosettes, and arabesque floral medallions. Each medallion appears to be meticulously placed within a matrix of vinery and floral scrollwork, creating a mesmerizing and symmetrical rhythm across the entire composition. The design appears to incorporate garden themes, perhaps referencing the Persian concept of Paradise gardens, symbolic of order, beauty, and serenity.
The color palette is both rich and mellowed with age. Subdued tones of sapphire blue, seafoam green, camel, and soft apricot are punctuated by deeper rusts and midnight blues, giving the rug a mature, antique dignity. The fading of certain tones is natural and consistent with the gentle patina that is highly prized in collectible antique rugs.
A wide border, framed by multiple guard stripes, encloses the field. It features continuous floral motifs that echo the internal design, further enhancing the sense of cohesion and balance. The corner spandrels are subtly executed, integrating seamlessly with the surrounding motifs, a testament to the weaver’s skill in composition.
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.
