Sultanabad Persian Antique Floral Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1930 BB8266 9'0" × 9'9" $28,000

This exquisite 1900s antique Persian Sultanabad rug showcases the region’s renowned artistry and masterful weaving tradition. The warm brick-red field serves as the backdrop for an intricate allover pattern of stylized palmettes, leafy vines, and angular floral motifs rendered in soft shades of cream, light blue, sage, and navy. The design flows in a harmonious, almost rhythmic arrangement, embodying the balance and elegance typical of Sultanabad craftsmanship.

Framing the composition is a striking midnight-blue main border, adorned with large-scale palmettes and angular vine scrolls, flanked by delicate guard borders with a charming rosette-and-leaf motif. The interplay of warm and cool tones, coupled with the spacious yet intricately detailed drawing, creates a piece that feels both stately and inviting.

Woven from high-quality wool and dyed with natural pigments, this carpet retains a rich, saturated palette even after more than a century. It is a versatile size, suitable for both intimate and formal interiors. Its timeless design, durable construction, and graceful patina make it an exceptional example of early 20th-century Persian weaving.
