Sultanabad Persian Antique Allover Geometric Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1910 BB7028 10'10" × 11'10" $38,000

This antique Persian Sultanabad rug, woven circa 1910, reflects the historic weaving tradition of Sultanabad in northwestern Persia. Hand-knotted in wool, it presents a square, room-size format with the balanced formality collectors value in early 20th-century Persian carpets.

An allover lattice of diamond compartments covers the warm tan field, each cell filled with stylized blossoms, small rosettes, and angular arrow-like leaves. The drawing feels organized yet lively, with soft light blue, brick red, brown, and muted terracotta accents keeping the geometry readable without overwhelming the ground. The absence of a central medallion gives the composition a steady, rhythmic spread across the surface.

A deeply colored border frames the interior with repeating floral and geometric detail, adding contrast and definition to the lighter center. The result is an antique Persian geometric rug with a quietly formal character, well suited to traditional, transitional, or layered interiors that call for warmth, pattern, and enduring visual structure.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of traditional weaving artistry.
