Sultanabad Persian Antique Floral Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 BB7251 11'8" × 15'3" $70,000

This exquisite antique Persian Sultanabad rug, dating back to the turn of the 20th century, showcases the region’s celebrated mastery of large-scale, decorative weaving. Its all-over design features a harmonious network of stylized palmettes, rosettes, and intricate vine scrolls rendered in a soothing palette of deep indigo, warm camel, and muted ivory tones. The expansive field is framed by a stately border adorned with ornate floral cartouches and meandering tendrils, creating a graceful balance between movement and structure.

Woven by hand using high-quality wool, the rug’s texture retains the supple yet resilient character for which Sultanabad weavings are prized. Over a century of gentle aging has imparted a beautifully worn patina, softening the colors into a rich, understated elegance that blends effortlessly with both traditional and modern interiors. This carpet is a remarkable example of Sultanabad artistry—at once decorative, durable, and steeped in the grandeur of Persian rug-making heritage.
