Sultanabad Persian Antique Floral Allover Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB8118 13'8" × 17'2" $95,000

This exquisite Antique Persian Sultanabad rug, dating back to the early 1900s, showcases the timeless artistry of one of Persia’s most celebrated weaving centers. This piece embodies the grandeur and scale for which Sultanabad carpets are renowned.

The deep indigo blue field forms a rich backdrop for an elegant all-over design of palmettes, stylized blossoms, and angular vine scrolls rendered in a harmonious palette of soft ivory, brick red, camel, and sky blue. The pattern’s spacious layout and fluid drawing reflect the region’s mastery of large-scale decorative composition, achieving both bold presence and delicate detail.

A series of intricately patterned guard borders frames the composition, culminating in a striking broad madder red main border adorned with rosettes, leafy tendrils, and cloudband-inspired flourishes. The interplay of warm and cool tones gives the rug a sense of depth and movement, while the gentle patina of age enriches its character and authenticity.

Hand-knotted from finely spun, high-quality wool, the carpet’s soft luster and durability testify to its superior craftsmanship. Its generous proportions, balanced design, and refined color harmony make it ideal for a grand interior, where it can serve as both a focal point and a unifying element in the décor.

This 1900’s Sultanabad is not only a decorative statement but also a tangible link to the golden era of Persian carpet weaving—an heirloom-worthy textile that bridges the past and present with elegance and distinction.
