Antique Sultanabad Persian Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7196 10'6" × 13'5" $27,000

This antique Persian Sultanabad rug, woven in Iran circa 1900, reflects the spacious scale and hand-knotted wool craftsmanship associated with classic northwestern Persian carpets. Its open, allover composition gives the piece a relaxed grandeur that feels both grounded and refined.

A soft beige field forms the backdrop for a loose trellis of stylized floral medallions, rosettes, and geometric linking devices. Terracotta, rust, navy blue, olive, and charcoal shape the pattern with a weathered richness, allowing the design to read with clarity while still feeling softly timeworn. The result is decorative, but never rigid.

A substantial border frames the field with angular blossoms, stepped arabesques, and small repeating motifs that reinforce the rug’s architectural presence. This Sultanabad’s botanic-casual character makes it especially effective in interiors that call for antique warmth, visual structure, and a pattern that settles easily beneath furniture groupings.

A treasured piece from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug embodies the gallery's longstanding commitment to sourcing carpets of exceptional artistry and historical significance. DLB offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, welcoming collectors and designers at every level.
