About the Item

Oversized Antique Persian Kirman Rug Size: 16'6" × 24'9" (502 × 754 cm). This exquisite oversized antique Persian Kirman rug, dating back to the 1920s, exemplifies the celebrated artistry and finesse of Persian weaving. Crafted in the historic city of Kirman, a region long renowned for producing some of the most refined and intricate carpets in the Persian tradition, this rug is a masterpiece of both scale and design. Woven by hand with high-quality wool, the rug features a richly detailed botanical design arranged in a grand, allover pattern. Intertwining vines, palmettes, and stylized floral motifs unfold across the expansive field in a soft, muted color palette dominated by delicate shades of ivory, dusty aqua, faded terracotta, and gentle sand tones. These faded hues lend the rug a luminous, ethereal character, enhanced by its subtle patina from age and use, adding a layer of historical depth and character. The border is composed of several nested bands filled with intricate flower heads and vine scrolls, providing a harmonious frame that complements the central composition. The scale of the rug, with its generous proportions and rhythmic repetition of patterns, allows for an immersive visual experience, making it ideal for large interior spaces that require both presence and grace. An outstanding example of Persian textile heritage, this antique Kirman rug not only serves as a floor covering but also as a sophisticated decorative statement. It reflects the artistic traditions of early 20th-century Persian craftsmanship and remains a timeless investment for collectors and designers alike. 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.

Vintage Persian Kirman Rug 5'1 x 8'10
Located in New York, NY
Vintage Persian Kirman rug. Size: 5'1 x 8'10. This attractive and tonally muted Kirman from southeast Persia was woven when densely covered grounds were particularly popular. The field color is a soft light teal with accents of dark brown, old gold, ivory and light green. The main border is equally filled with flowering vines and other elements repeating those of the field. Almost randomly, motives outlined in dark brown seem to drift in and out of focus. The all-over pattern has rosettes, leaves and layers of vines. The color variation or abrash is fairly subtle and is not the usual horizontal band variety, all too obvious in carpets with diverse dye lots. The soft, almost feminine palette makes this rug ideal for a boudoir, dressing room or bed chamber...
