Antique Sultanabad Persian Allover Floral Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 (Size Adjusted) BB7145 10'4" × 15'7" $60,000

Radiating the majestic charm of turn-of-the-century Persian artistry, this antique Sultanabad rug exemplifies the elegance and warmth that defines carpets from this esteemed weaving center. Woven circa 1900, the piece features a striking allover botanical design rendered in a soft, earthy palette that includes rich terracotta, muted cerulean blue, ivory, and subtle olive tones.

The field is adorned with a harmonious array of stylized palmettes, rosettes, and angular vinery, intricately balanced and symmetrically spaced to create a sense of refined movement and generous openness. A series of finely drawn diamond medallions and floral motifs enhance the visual rhythm, while the vine-laden secondary details provide subtle complexity without overpowering the composition.

What truly distinguishes this rug is the contrast between its warm ivory ground and the saturated borders. The main border, rendered in a lush brick red, showcases elaborate palmettes and floral arabesques encased within multiple guard bands. These narrow frames feature geometric motifs and serrated leaf patterns, adding to the depth and framing effect of the entire design.

Hand-knotted in high-quality wool, this Persian Sultanabad rug offers both durability and an incredibly soft texture, making it equally suited for formal interiors and relaxed living spaces. Its generous size and timeless aesthetic allow it to anchor large rooms with grace, making it a compelling statement piece for collectors and decorators alike.
