Exquisite Sultanabad Persian Antique Floral Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB6134 9'6" × 12'6" $43,000

This antique Persian Sultanabad rug, dating back to the 1920s, beautifully exemplifies the artistry and grandeur of Sultanabad weaving. Its spacious design and warm palette reflect the region’s tradition of creating rugs with both elegance and versatility.

The field is rendered in a soft golden-tan ground, hosting an allover pattern of stylized floral motifs and palmettes in shades of brick red, deep indigo, and muted sky blue. These motifs, gracefully interconnected with delicate vinery, create an impression of movement while maintaining balance and symmetry. The spacious composition highlights the openness characteristic of the finest Sultanabad carpets, allowing each motif to breathe and draw attention.

Framing the field is a broad salmon-toned border, adorned with bold floral elements and angular vine scrolls. The contrast between the warm coral and the cooler blues and greens enhances the rug’s visual depth. Subtle abrash throughout the field enriches the texture and gives the carpet a sense of history and authenticity, a reminder of its handwoven nature.

Hand-knotted in high-quality wool, this rug combines durability with a soft, time-mellowed patina, making it not only a decorative centerpiece but also a testament to early 20th-century Persian craftsmanship. Its generous dimensions and timeless elegance allow it to harmonize effortlessly with both traditional and contemporary interiors.
