$65,000
This exquisite 1920s Persian Sultanabad rug exemplifies the grandeur and artistry of Ziegler-inspired Persian weaving. Handwoven in the heart of Persia, the rug features a striking terracotta field enriched with an elaborate allover design of stylized palmettes, floral sprays, and meandering vines. The composition conveys movement and harmony, while its bold yet balanced scale reflects the signature Sultanabad aesthetic.
The borders frame the field with a rare teal-blue ground, adorned with lush botanical motifs and delicate rosettes that lend contrast and depth to the palette. The combination of rich coral-reds, soft blues, and muted ivory highlights creates a warm yet distinguished presence. Subtle patina and age-related wear give the piece an appealing vintage character, enhancing its authenticity and timeless charm.
Renowned for their large-scale patterns and bold use of color, Sultanabad carpets were highly sought after in both Persian and Western markets during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This example reflects that tradition beautifully, offering both decorative versatility and cultural significance.
Perfect for a grand living room, library, or dining space, this antique Sultanabad rug captures the essence of Persian craftsmanship—where elegance, artistry, and history converge.
