About the Item

Authentic 19th Century Persian Kirman Bold Blue Brown Wool Rug Size: 13'10" × 20'5" (421 × 622 cm) A decorative late 19th century Persian Kirman (Kerman) antique rug, the cocoa field with a dense scrolling vine pattern overall around rows of medallions containing strap work and floral motifs within a palmette and inscription cartouche border. During the 16th century, Shah Abbas I reportedly gave antique Karastan Kirman rug embroidered with gold and silver thread as tribute to the Ottoman Court. The fame of these oriental weavings rapidly spread across Western Europe. From the mid-16th century through the 18th century, the city of Kirman was celebrated for ‘vase’ carpets, a term deriving from the depiction of vase motifs in many examples woven there. By the 19th century, Kirman was recognized for exceptional oriental rugs in the best Persian tradition. Antique Persian carpets of this period, especially the Lavar group woven in the town of Ravar, are known for their fine weave, delicate drawing, incomparable range of color, and are still much in demand today. 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.
