Antique Sultanabad Persian Allover Floral Gray Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB7701 12'1" × 23'10" $130,000

This antique Persian Sultanabad rug, hand-knotted in wool and dating to circa 1920, reflects the historic weaving tradition of northwestern Persia. Its generous scale and softly aged palette give it the presence of a formal floor covering while keeping the overall effect relaxed and livable.

The gray field is organized as an allover botanical design with a subtle medallion axis, where palmettes, rosettes, and delicate leafy vines repeat across the surface. Rather than a rigid central layout, the drawing opens up the composition and lets the motifs drift with an easy, decorative rhythm that feels especially approachable beneath furniture.

Burnt orange, dusty blue, muted gold, olive, and brown accents enliven the restrained ground, while the narrow border hierarchy frames the interior without overwhelming it. The result is a graceful antique floral Sultanabad rug with enough detail for traditional rooms and enough quiet character to anchor contemporary interiors.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug represents the caliber of craftsmanship and cultural heritage the gallery has championed since its founding in 1965. With six decades of expertise, Doris Leslie Blau remains a premier destination for rare and extraordinary rugs across a wide range of styles and price points.
