Sultanabad Persian Antique Allover Floral Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB8427 5'7" × 10'0" $43,000

Antique Persian Sultanabad rug, circa 1880, hand-knotted in Persia, carries the relaxed grandeur associated with this celebrated weaving tradition.

Its soft cream-beige field is organized around a lightly articulated allover composition, where stylized palmettes, rosettes, trellis-like floral forms, and delicate vine scrolls drift across the surface with generous breathing room. A small central crest-like medallion lends quiet structure without disturbing the open, spacious layout, allowing the design to feel both formal and easygoing.

The broad border strengthens that balance with repeating floral medallions, framed by smaller blossoms and leafy tendrils in dusty pink, light blue, teal, warm brown, and touches of coral. Woven in wool, this antique Sultanabad offers the supple texture and decorative versatility prized by collectors, bringing warmth, pattern, and historical character to traditional, transitional, or layered contemporary interiors.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of traditional weaving artistry.
