Antique Sultanabad Persian Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB3336 10'9" × 14'3" $22,000

This antique Persian Sultanabad rug, woven circa 1900, embodies the grandeur and refinement for which Sultanabad weavings are celebrated. Its expansive field rests on a warm beige ground, animated by an elegant allover botanical design of stylized palmettes, serrated leaves, and angular vinery. The palette is particularly striking—rusty terracotta, soft celadon, muted teal, and deep indigo interplay harmoniously, lending the piece both vibrancy and depth while retaining an air of subtle sophistication.

The broad border frames the composition with classical Persian ornamentation: a succession of rosettes and palmettes connected by scrolling vines, executed in rich coral and navy tones that ground the lighter, more delicate interior. The balance between the intricate latticework of the field and the rhythmic strength of the border demonstrates the artistry and precision of Sultanabad workshops during this period.

Woven from high-quality wool with a supple handle, this rug reflects both durability and elegance. Its gentle patina and nuanced color variations speak to its age and authenticity, enhancing its decorative appeal.

A masterful example of late 19th- to early 20th-century Persian craftsmanship, this Sultanabad rug bridges tradition and versatility, offering timeless artistry to both classic and contemporary interiors.
