Antique Sultanabad Persian Allover Geometric Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1910 BB7202 12'0" × 16'7" $90,000

This antique Sultanabad Persian rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1910, reflects the relaxed elegance of northwestern Persian weaving at the turn of the 20th century. As an allover geometric carpet, it carries the time-honored Sultanabad tradition into a composition that feels both formal and softly atmospheric.

A light beige field provides an airy ground for a defined central medallion, while scattered floral sprays, vine scrolls, and small geometric accents drift across the surface with an easy, painterly rhythm. The drawing is looser than a rigid court carpet, giving the antique Persian rug a balanced sense of movement and negative space.

That openness is framed by a pronounced dark brown border, where large-scale repeating motifs in rust red, olive green, and warm taupe create a strong architectural edge. The contrast between the pale interior and the grounded perimeter gives the piece visual depth, making it well suited to interiors that call for antique character, warmth, and a composed traditional presence.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug represents the caliber of craftsmanship and cultural heritage the gallery has championed since its founding in 1965. With six decades of expertise, Doris Leslie Blau remains a premier destination for rare and extraordinary rugs across a wide range of styles and price points.
