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

Woven in Persia circa 1900, this antique Sultanabad rug reflects the refined village weaving tradition for which the region is celebrated. Hand-knotted in wool, it belongs to the great Persian carpet lineage of large-format decorative rugs designed to bring warmth, character, and balance to expansive interiors.

The warm tan field carries a time-softened terracotta cast and is filled with an allover floral repeat of palmettes, rosettes, foliate sprays, and trellis-like intersections. The drawing is intricate yet relaxed, allowing the pattern to read with movement rather than rigidity. A deep navy border frames the composition with crisp contrast, while ivory, beige, and muted blue accents keep the surface lively.

Its mellow palette and softened detailing give the rug a collected presence that feels especially appealing in layered, contemporary settings. This antique Sultanabad rug offers the rhythm of a botanical allover design, the depth of age, and the versatility that makes Persian floral rugs enduring favorites among designers and collectors.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of traditional weaving artistry.
