About the Item

Exquisite Oversized 1900s Persian Kirman Rug with Lush Botanical Flourish and Regal Sapphire Border (Size Adjusted) Size: 15'6" × 23'6" (472 × 716 cm) This magnificent oversized Persian Kirman rug, dating back to the early 1900s, exemplifies the sophisticated artistry and technical mastery of one of Persia’s most celebrated weaving centers. Meticulously hand-knotted in high-grade wool, the rug boasts a finely detailed allover floral lattice pattern set against a soft, parchment-toned field, radiating warmth and timeless elegance. The main field features a dense profusion of stylized palmettes, rosettes, and arabesque vines gracefully interlacing in symmetrical formation. Rendered in a refined palette of earth tones—muted golds, faded rose, celadon green, and soft ivory—this carpet achieves a harmonious balance that reflects the understated grandeur characteristic of antique Kirman masterpieces. The composition is framed by a breathtaking sapphire-blue border, which sweeps around the central field like a regal ribbon. This wide band features a rhythmic succession of boteh (paisley) motifs, flowering sprays, and serrated leaves, each intricately drawn with masterful precision. The border's depth and saturation provide a dramatic yet balanced contrast to the softer interior, enhancing the rug’s architectural presence. At a monumental 24 by 16 feet (approximately), this size-adjusted piece was likely commissioned for a significant interior, such as a grand salon or formal reception space. Despite its age, the rug has retained remarkable structural integrity and visual clarity, offering both collectors and designers a rare opportunity to own a piece that is as functional as it is decorative. Whether gracing the floor of a classic home or anchoring a contemporary space with its historical gravitas, this antique Persian Kirman rug is an enduring testament to the elegance and craftsmanship of a bygone era. Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
