Vintage Indian Sultanabad Carpet with Traditional Style

About the Item

76919 Vintage Earth-Tone Indian Sultanabad Rug Runner, 02'08 x 10'08. Like the whispered memory of an ancient garden pathway, this vintage Indian Sultanabad rug runner stretches forth in stately elegance, its floral arabesques blooming softly across a field of aged earth tones. Hand-knotted with care and intention, each knot tells a quiet tale of tradition, echoing the grandeur of Persian Sultanabad rugs once commissioned for Western palaces in the 19th century. The muted palette—of tranquil taupe, silvery sage, faded rose, antique gold, and soft camel—speaks of sun-warmed stone and timeworn elegance, the palette of dreams gently weathered by age. This vintage runner is not merely a passageway adornment, but a bridge between worlds—woven in India by master artisans channeling the spirit of the great Ziegler & Co. workshop of Sultanabad. There, in the shadow of empires, the motifs of Persia were reimagined for European tastes, and this piece carries that same sensibility: restrained opulence, spacious design, and florals that feel as though they’ve been pressed from the pages of an illuminated manuscript. The palmettes unfurl with grace, flanked by curling leaves and delicate blossoms, as though the runner were tracing the line of a garden’s edge or the gentle banks of an oasis. Beneath your feet, centuries of artistic exchange are woven into being—the Persian spirit translated through Indian hands, softened by time, and burnished by tradition. Its symmetrical vines and medallions speak in the language of beauty, without the need for words. The border encloses the central story like the walls of a Mughal courtyard, each rosette and scrolling tendril a tribute to order, growth, and the symmetry of nature. Timeless yet grounded, this Indian Sultanabad carpet runner carries with it the calm dignity of an heirloom and the soul of an old-world reverie. Whether gracing the hall of a modern sanctuary or a historic home, it invites slow steps and lingering glances. Here, the past and present entwine—each thread a gesture of memory, each pattern a quiet hymn to beauty eternal. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in India. Measures: 02'08 x 10'08. Date: 1970's. Late 20th Century.
