Sultanabad Persian Antique Allover Geometric Ivory Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 (Size Adjusted) BB7381 10'0" × 16'1" $32,000

This antique Persian Sultanabad rug, woven circa 1880 and hand-knotted in wool, reflects the enduring appeal of western Persian weaving. Its antique surface and balanced proportions give it the quiet authority of a well-aged carpet, suited to rooms that call for texture, history, and an unmistakably collected sensibility.

An ivory field carries a refined allover trellis of angular vines, stylized blossoms, and small geometric flowerheads, creating a measured rhythm without a central medallion. The pattern stays open enough to feel airy, yet detailed enough to reward a closer look, a hallmark of Sultanabad design prized for its decorative ease and architectural clarity.

Around it, a soft blue main border is animated by large floral forms in coral, pink, olive, and sage, while narrow guard borders in blush and green frame the interior with delicacy. The restrained palette softens the geometry and makes the rug a natural fit for classic rooms, layered neutral schemes, or contemporary spaces seeking an antique Persian anchor.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug exemplifies superior artistry, historic character, and timeless sophistication. DLB is internationally recognized for offering exceptional antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs of remarkable quality and provenance.
