About the Item
Oversized Antique Persian Kirman Carpet
Size: 14'0" × 19'3" (426 × 586 cm)
A rare and magnificent example of Persian artistry, this oversized antique Kirman carpet, woven around 1900, captivates with its harmonious symmetry, luminous palette, and regal presence. This piece was likely commissioned for a grand interior, reflective of both wealth and refined aesthetic sensibility.
The carpet’s allover layout features alternating rows of elegantly stylized palmettes and ornate medallions, each framed by gently undulating vines. These elements rest upon a mesmerizing aqua-blue field, an unusual and highly desirable ground color in Kirman weavings that enhances the visual clarity and vibrancy of the motifs. The secondary tones of golden beige, ivory, navy, and hints of soft brown contribute to a jewel-like interplay of color.
One of the most impressive aspects of this carpet is the intricacy of its individual motifs—each compartment is filled with elaborate floral arabesques, botehs, and scrolling vines, typical of late 19th- to early 20th-century Kirman weaving under the influence of courtly aesthetics. The border, rich with classical Persian floral iconography, encloses the field in a rhythmic sequence of palmettes and rosettes, further reinforcing the architectural elegance of the composition.
Woven with exceptionally fine wool and knotted with meticulous precision, this Kirman rug exhibits the technical mastery and aesthetic sophistication for which the region is renowned. The weavers of Kirman were celebrated for their ability to interpret classical Persian designs with fluidity and grace, as demonstrated in this carpet’s cohesive and flowing layout.
Ideal for anchoring a formal living space, library, gallery, or historical interior, this antique Kirman is not just a floor covering but a work of art—an enduring testament to Persian cultural legacy and 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.
