About the Item
Exquisite Oversized 1880s Persian Kirman Rug with Lush Botanical Elegance
Size: 15'4" × 22'10" (467 × 695 cm)
This exceptional antique Kirman rug, originating from Persia in the 1880s, is a masterclass in opulence and artistry. Oversized and exquisitely detailed, it presents a dramatic field anchored by a grand lattice of medallion-like cartouches and curved lozenges. These shapes are filled with an abundant tapestry of flowering vines, finely drawn branches, and stylized rosettes that appear to dance across the surface.
The luminous ivory ground sets the stage for a spectacular play of color, featuring rich navy blues, deep reds, sky blues, and golden accents—all harmoniously composed in an architectural symmetry. The botanical motifs are meticulously rendered, evoking the lushness of a royal Persian garden.
Surrounding this floral profusion is a regal border system—multi-stranded and layered with ornate floral meanders, stylized leaves, and scrolling vines, offering both contrast and continuity to the field. The main border’s bold medallion-and-vine composition creates a sense of rhythm and structure, framing the central panel with grace.
Woven in the legendary weaving center of Kirman, this rug exemplifies the extraordinary craftsmanship and aesthetic refinement for which the region is celebrated. The palette, while vivid, is softened by age and lends the piece an antique patina that enhances its elegance.
More than a decorative piece, this rug is a historical artifact—a testament to the grandeur of 19th-century Persian textile art. Its sheer scale, detailed patterning, and enduring charm make it a captivating centerpiece for the most distinguished interiors.
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.
