Antique Sultanabad Persian Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 (Size Adjusted) BB7637 9'4" × 11'8" $43,000

This exquisite 1920’s Persian Sultanabad rug exemplifies the refined artistry of early 20th-century weaving. Hand-knotted with remarkable precision, the rug presents a harmonious interplay of earthy tones and delicate floral motifs that convey timeless elegance.

The field is rendered in a warm camel-tan ground, intricately patterned with an allover design of stylized blossoms, palmettes, and leafy vines in shades of soft teal, celadon, and muted ivory, all outlined with fine dark accents that enhance their clarity. The composition feels both balanced and airy, giving the piece an understated sophistication that suits both classical and transitional interiors.

Framing the field is a deep indigo border richly decorated with scrolling vines and large-scale floral medallions, providing a striking yet graceful contrast to the lighter ground. Smaller guard borders filled with dainty floral rosettes complete the design, adding rhythm and refinement to the overall presentation.

Woven in Sultanabad—a city renowned for producing some of the most decorative and collectible Persian carpets—this piece reflects the tradition of artistry that made Sultanabad rugs especially prized in Western interiors during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Its subdued yet luminous palette ensures versatility, while its intricate craftsmanship underscores its enduring value as both an artwork and a floor covering.
