Antique Sultanabad Persian Allover Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1980 BB7910 10'10" × 13'1" $30,000

This 1980’s vintage Sultanabad rug embodies the timeless elegance of Persian weaving traditions with a light and refreshing palette that radiates warmth. Woven with masterful precision, the rug features an open field design adorned with stylized botanical motifs, floral sprays, and abstract medallions.

The primary ground is a soft ivory-beige, offering a delicate backdrop that highlights the intricate details. Shades of terracotta and burnt sienna add depth and definition to the motifs, while subtle accents of light sky blue, slate, and muted teal breathe life and dimension into the design. Gentle touches of warm taupe and cocoa brown further enrich the overall composition, blending harmoniously with the warm-toned border.

The border frames the field with alternating rosettes, palmettes, and angular vine work, creating a rhythmic flow that emphasizes balance and symmetry. This harmonious interplay of soft neutrals with earthy warmth and cool highlights gives the rug a versatile character, suitable for both traditional and modern interiors.

Hand-knotted in wool, the rug reflects the celebrated Sultanabad style—known for large-scale patterns, relaxed elegance, and timeless charm. Its airy palette makes it especially well-suited for bright, open spaces, adding sophistication without overwhelming the room.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
