Vintage Persian Kirman in Shades of Rust, Beige and Light Blue Handmade Wool Rug

Offered by: Doris Leslie Blau Rugs

Description
This Vintage 1920s Persian Kirman rug is a breathtaking example of classical Persian artistry at its finest—both regal and intricately expressive. Woven around the 1920s, this hand-knotted wool rug features a majestic midnight blue field, richly adorned with a symmetrical garden of stylized floral and botanical motifs. The design includes palmettes, rosettes, lotus blossoms, and scrolling vines—all rendered in a refined palette of brick red, ivory, pale blue, and muted gold. These tones contrast beautifully with the deep indigo background, enhancing the visual drama while retaining harmony. The wide border, in a softer robin’s egg blue, is equally elaborate—framed with interlacing arabesques and repeating cartouches that echo Safavid influences, giving the rug a sense of movement and ornate balance. The meticulous level of detail throughout the piece speaks to the exceptional craftsmanship typical of Kirman weavers, who were known for producing some of the finest rugs in Persia. This rug is not only a functional textile but also a historical artifact—offering timeless elegance and unmatched depth of character. Its rich colors and classic composition make it a versatile focal point for traditional, eclectic, or even modern interiors.
