Antique Persian Sultanabad Carpet BB7473 11'6" × 20'2" $90,000

The main sandy beige field of this Sultanabad rug, made circa 1900, features a scrolling flowering vine and serrated leaf pattern overall, within a cocoa palmette and scrolling vine border.

As befits an antique rug from Persia, this one is distinguished by excellent workmanship. It was carefully knotted by hand out of high-quality wool thanks to which it looks as if it was just taken down from the looms. If maintained properely, the rug will serve its owners for generations without any signs of wear.
