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

Antique Persian Sultanabad rug, circa 1920, hand-knotted in wool in the Sultanabad weaving tradition of western Persia, presents an allover decorative field that favors balance over a single focal point.

The deep indigo-blue ground is threaded with warm tan vines, rosettes, and palmettes arranged in a trellis-like lattice. Softened by age, the floral repeat feels relaxed and architectural at once, giving the composition movement while preserving order.

A warm tan border of scrolling blossoms and stylized medallions frames the field with measured contrast, while the muted palette and gentle wear lend the rug an easy, lived-in character. Elegant yet understated, it suits rooms that call for historic Persian pattern, depth of color, and a decorative anchor for classic or contemporary interiors.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug exemplifies superior artistry, historic character, and timeless sophistication. DLB is internationally recognized for offering exceptional antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs of remarkable quality and provenance.
