About the Item

Oversized Antique Persian Kirman Rug Size: 16'2" × 17'0" (492 × 518 cm). This magnificent 19th-century Persian Kirman rug is a testament to the height of Persian textile artistry during the Qajar era. Its generous proportions make it a statement piece for grand interiors, while the intricate artistry and refined palette speak to the sophistication of its origin. The field of the rug is beautifully composed with a symmetrical, all-over botanical design, featuring stylized rosettes, palmettes, starbursts, and delicate vinery. The floral motifs are densely packed yet harmoniously arranged across a soft, light camel-tan background, adding a sense of movement and depth without overwhelming the eye. What distinguishes this rug is its luminous color palette, dominated by sandy beige, muted azure, soft indigo, and pale denim blue. These cool blues provide a graceful contrast against the warm neutral field, imbuing the entire composition with elegance and tranquility. The rug is framed by a series of layered borders. The main border features ornate floral garlands set on a rich deep navy ground, forming medallion-like patterns connected by scrolling vines. This intricate border is enclosed by narrow guard stripes containing stylized floral tendrils and angular vinery, which lend a sophisticated geometric balance to the otherwise organic design. The craftsmanship is exceptional, indicative of the Kirman weaving tradition, renowned for its fineness, precision, and use of luxurious wool. Despite its age, the rug retains remarkable clarity in design and a mature patina that enhances its collectible appeal. This oversized Kirman rug would be a spectacular addition to a formal living room, dining room, or gallery space, bringing with it not only beauty but a deep sense of history and artistry. A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition.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.
