Sultanabad Persian Antique Allover Geometric Ivory Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 (Size Adjusted) BB7381 10'0" × 16'1" $32,000

This commanding Sultanabad carpet, now size-adjusted to approximately 10′0″ × 16′1″, is a masterwork of late-19th-century Persian weaving.

Its generous ivory field is elegantly patterned with a trellis composed of angular leaves, flowering vines, and geometric flowerheads, forming a rhythmic all-over design that balances both refinement and warmth.

Framed by a border of pale sky-blue stylized palmettes and floral heads, the composition gains structure and contrast—this cool border tones beautifully with the ivory interior, anchoring the rug’s decorative breadth.

Woven in wool with traditional Sultanabad craftsmanship, this piece displays the subtle color palette and botanical geometry for which Sultanabad rugs have long been prized. Its quiet elegance, combined with its stately proportions, makes it equally suited to grand formal rooms or refined contemporary interiors that demand both presence and understatement.

This rug from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection is not only a collectible statement of refined taste and exceptional craftsmanship—it is also a rare survival of the modernist movement as interpreted through Persian textile tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
