Antique Persian Sultanabad BB6498 13'10" × 26'2" $200,000

Who has not hear of antique Persian Sultanabad rugs? Famed treasures of Iran, they helped to save the ancient weaving art in the region from disappearing, while providing the world with high quality goods of unmatched beauty. Just take a look at this stunning piece. Woven by hand circa 1880, it displays a pattern characteristic for the region where it was created. The idea of central medallion was abandoned in favor of an all over design with a floral motif stretching on the central field. Flowers also appear on the pattern’s frame, resulting in a well-balanced composition. The color palette is composed mostly of light, earthy tones such as beige and brown with bits of red to highlight elements of the design. The size of this piece, 13’10” × 26’2″ (422 × 798 cm), makes it perfect for a spacious household or maybe an office.
