Antique Sultanabad Persian Medallion Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB4925 10'6" × 13'6" $43,000

This antique Persian Sultanabad rug from the early 1900s exemplifies the grandeur and artistry of Persian weaving traditions. Hand-knotted in wool, it features a spacious allover design distinguished by large-scale floral and botanical motifs rendered in a soft, harmonious palette of muted ivory, beige, taupe, and faded olive tones.

At the heart of the composition lies a striking central medallion with scrolling arabesques, subtly balanced by floral palmettes, leafy vines, and stylized blossoms that radiate outward. The field is framed by a wide border enriched with an intricate series of rosettes, meandering tendrils, and smaller floral accents, lending a sense of rhythm and balance to the overall design.

The rug’s washed, time-softened colors and gently worn texture speak to its age and authenticity, adding depth, warmth, and character. Its restrained elegance and neutral tones make it a versatile piece—equally suited for traditional interiors as well as modern, minimalist settings where it can serve as a statement of understated luxury.

Measuring generously, this Sultanabad rug reflects the celebrated craftsmanship of one of Persia’s most important weaving centers, valued for producing carpets of bold design and enduring beauty.
