Antique Sultanabad Persian Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB3336 10'9" × 14'3" $22,000

Woven in Persia circa 1900, this antique Sultanabad rug belongs to the celebrated northwestern weaving tradition known for spacious floral carpets and balanced, room-filling compositions.

A soft beige field sets a luminous ground for an allover botanical repeat of palmettes, leafy tendrils, and trellis-like vine scrolls. The drawing is finely paced rather than dense, so the motifs read with clarity while still creating generous movement. Rust, terracotta, muted teal, light blue, and olive lend the surface an easy, collected warmth.

The broad border adds architectural weight, with rosettes, palmettes, and scrolling floral ornament in richer coral, indigo, and brick tones. Hand-knotted in wool, the rug has the supple patina and softened contrasts prized in antique Persian rugs, making it especially effective beneath furniture groupings, where its formal perimeter and gentle palette can anchor a classic or contemporary interior.

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.
