19th century Sultanabad Persian carpets are highly sought after by collectors and interior designers for their exquisite craftsmanship, intricate designs, and rich history.

These carpets were typically made in sizes that ranged from 9x12 feet to 12x18 feet, Large sized carpet have were custom made and tailored use in grand, formal spaces such as ballrooms, reception halls, and large drawing rooms. The designs of 19th century Sultanabad Persian carpets are typically characterized by their intricate floral and botanical motifs, rendered in a palette of rich, saturated colors such as ruby red, sapphire blue, and emerald green. These designs were often inspired by traditional Persian gardens, with flowers, vines, and trees arranged in a symmetrical, geometric pattern. Another defining feature of 19th century Sultanabad Persian carpets is their high quality.
