Sultanabad Persian Antique Floral Allover Classic Taupe Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 BB8522 13'6" × 25'0" $130,000
$130,000
This antique Persian Sultanabad carpet, woven circa 1900, is hand-knotted in wool and reflects the historic weaving tradition of western Persia. Its antique character is visible at once in the softened surface and the generous, room-anchoring scale, while the Sultanabad idiom brings a graceful balance of village spontaneity and formal elegance.
The warm taupe field is densely layered with rosettes, floral sprays, and palmettes arranged in an allover botanical rhythm, creating only a faint suggestion of a central medallion. Faded brown, cream beige, and muted gold notes lend the pattern a mellow, atmospheric depth, while the worn pile blurs the outlines into a painterly haze.
A broad floral border and narrow guard stripes preserve the composition’s structure, yet the design remains relaxed rather than rigid, with the softened geometry associated with Oushak-influenced Sultanabad weaving. It brings quiet pattern, historic patina, and an understated Arts and Crafts sensibility to interiors that call for warmth, texture, and visual calm.
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.
