Antique Sultanabad Persian Floral Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB6598 12'2" × 19'10" $65,000

This early 20th-century Persian Sultanabad rug presents a wonderfully time-softened palette and an intricate botanical design that captures the essence of classical Persian weaving. The spacious field, rendered in warm terracotta and earthy rust tones, is animated by an allover lattice of stylized blossoms, palmettes, and trailing vines. Accents of ivory, sandy beige, midnight blue, and touches of soft teal enliven the composition, lending depth and dimension to the floral motifs.

The wide border, executed in deep navy with complementary floral and geometric ornamentation, provides a striking frame that grounds the warm field with elegance and contrast. The interplay between the darker border and the lighter, earth-toned center creates a harmonious balance that feels both decorative and sophisticated.

Woven circa 1900, this Sultanabad rug exemplifies the region’s celebrated artistry, where large-scale patterns and rich yet muted palettes were designed to complement grand interiors. Its mellowed colors and intricate detailing give it not only decorative appeal but also the patina and presence of a true antique.
