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. These carpets were woven using the finest wool, which was spun by hand and dyed using natural, vegetable-based dyes.
