About the Item
Oversized 19th Century Persian Kirman Carpet
Size: 16'0" × 20'7" (487 × 627 cm)
This magnificent oversized Persian Kirman carpet from the 19th century is a true expression of refined Persian artistry, distinguished by its intricate design, elegant palette, and grand proportions. Originating from the renowned weaving center of Kerman in southeastern Persia, this piece reflects the sophisticated aesthetics and superb craftsmanship characteristic of the region's best productions during the Qajar era.
The carpet’s expansive field is adorned with an allover lattice of ornate palmettes, stylized floral motifs, and graceful vinery, arranged in a delicate yet structured layout. These elements are rendered in a soft, harmonious palette of warm beige, muted tan, faded terracotta, slate blue, and gentle celadon, lending the composition a timeworn elegance that only age can bestow.
What sets this Kirman apart is its sense of movement and rhythm—the motifs bloom and unfurl in a flowing, interconnected manner, bordered by an elaborate frame of continuous floral scrolls and intricate medallions. The scale of the design complements its oversized format, making it an impressive centerpiece for grand interiors or historical spaces.
Woven with fine wool and exhibiting a low, evenly worn pile, the carpet carries the patina of time with grace. Its condition, color variation, and softness of line all contribute to its antique charm and collectible quality.
This 19th-century Kirman is not merely a floor covering but a majestic textile artwork—a rare and dignified piece that speaks of Persia’s rich cultural and artistic legacy.
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.
