Antique Persian Sultanabad Mint Green, Red, Blue and Beige Handwoven Wool Rug BB6055 7'4" × 10'3" $10,000
$10,000
This circa-1920 antique Persian Sultanabad rug features an elaborate all-over design of floral abstractions, arabesques, vinery and serrated leaf patterns in shades of red, blue and beige against a field of mint green. An intricately patterned main border completes the look of the early 20th century antique carpet. In the late 19th century the city of Sultanabad (now Arak in northwest Iran) was a center of high-quality rug production.
With striking all-over patterns and more muted palettes than those of Persian counterparts, antique Persian Sultanabad rugs and antique carpets inspired an immediate following and created unabated demand for Oriental carpets from the Sultanabad district. In the present day, the style of this group of Persian carpet weavings is still regarded as the most appealing to European and American taste. The Ziegler or Sultanabad nomenclature continues to be used in denoting an outstanding antique Mahal rug or carpet from the nineteenth century.
