Antique Sultanabad Persian Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB8017 11'8" × 15'10" $65,000

This exquisite Antique Persian Sultanabad rug from the 1920s exemplifies the timeless artistry and elegance of traditional Persian weaving. Rendered in a striking palette of deep indigo blue, soft beige, and muted taupe, the rug displays a finely balanced allover floral design, a hallmark of Sultanabad craftsmanship.

The field is adorned with a dense lattice of stylized palmettes, rosettes, and flowering vines, arranged with perfect symmetry and rhythm. The artistry is further enhanced by delicate vine scrolls that interlace gracefully, creating a sense of harmony and fluidity across the composition. The wide border, set in a warm sand-beige tone, frames the central field with scrolling arabesques and floral motifs, complementing the richly detailed interior.

Handwoven with high-quality wool, the rug not only boasts a soft, durable pile but also retains the subtle patina of age, adding depth and character. The careful balance of bold contrast and subdued tones reflects the unique aesthetic of early 20th-century Persian weaving, making this piece both versatile and timeless.

At once decorative and functional, this 1920’s Sultanabad rug would bring warmth and sophistication to any interior, whether classic, transitional, or modern. Its grand scale and refined elegance make it particularly well-suited for larger living rooms, dining rooms, or libraries in need of a centerpiece of historic charm.
