Antique Sultanabad Persian Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB8598 11'6" × 19'7" $43,000

This 1920s Antique Persian Sultanabad rug exemplifies the refined artistry and grandeur for which Sultanabad carpets are celebrated. Measuring an impressive 20′ × 12′, it showcases an open, airy allover floral pattern set against a warm camel-toned field. Stylized palmettes, rosettes, and vinery unfurl with graceful symmetry, punctuated by subtle pops of sky blue, soft coral, and muted ochre. The spacious design, characteristic of the Sultanabad weaving tradition, allows each motif to breathe, imparting a sense of elegance and ease.

The wide main border, in a delicate blush beige, is adorned with elongated floral cartouches framed by scrolling vinework, flanked by narrow guard borders with repeating rosette and leaf motifs in harmonious tones. The palette, softened with age, retains a quiet vibrancy, the gentle abrashed field lending depth and movement to the composition.

Hand-knotted in high-quality wool, this rug bears the hallmarks of early 20th-century Persian craftsmanship—durable yet supple, richly decorative yet understated. Its generous scale and timeless design make it equally suited for grand traditional interiors or as a statement piece in a contemporary setting.
