About the Item
Persian Kirman Rug
Size: 17'3" × 18'8" (525 × 568 cm),
This extraordinary antique Persian Kirman rug, dating from circa 1900, is a masterful example of the region’s celebrated weaving tradition. Woven on a monumental scale of 19 by 17 feet, it displays the graceful sophistication, meticulous craftsmanship, and lyrical design language for which Kirman carpets are renowned.
The field presents a refined allover pattern of interlacing palmettes, scrolling tendrils, stylized blossoms, and delicate latticework, executed with remarkable fluidity and balance. Subtle medallion formations emerge organically within the design, adding a sense of architectural rhythm without interrupting the carpet’s continuous floral narrative.
A palette of soft dusty rose, pale taupe, muted ivory, and gentle sky blue is anchored by deeper accents of slate and midnight navy. Over time, the colors have mellowed into a harmonious, time-softened patina that enhances the rug’s sense of antiquity and understated grandeur.
A series of multiple borders—each intricately detailed with floral meanders, rosettes, and scrolling vines—frames the central composition with elegance and structural clarity. The densely knotted wool pile speaks to the exceptional quality and durability associated with the finest Kirman workshops of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Majestic yet refined, this antique Kirman rug is an heirloom-worthy statement piece, ideally suited for grand interiors seeking a balance of opulence, artistry, and serene beauty.
This rug from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection is not only a collectible statement of refined taste and exceptional craftsmanship—it is also a rare survival of the modernist movement as interpreted through Persian textile 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.
