About the Item

19th century Sultanabad Persian carpets are highly sought after by collectors and interior designers for their exquisite craftsmanship, intricate designs, and rich history. Sultanabad, located in western Iran, was a major center of carpet production in the 19th century and produced some of the finest carpets of the era. One of the distinguishing features of 19th century Sultanabad Persian carpets is their large size. 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. These carpets were woven using the finest wool, which was spun by hand and dyed using natural, vegetable-based dyes. The wool was then woven into carpets using a symmetrical knotting technique that resulted in a dense, durable pile. In addition to their beauty and durability, 19th century Sultanabad Persian carpets also have a rich historical significance. During the late 19th century, many Sultanabad carpets were exported to Europe and America, where they became popular among affluent collectors and connoisseurs. Today, these carpets are treasured as a testament to the enduring legacy of Persian carpet weaving and remain a prized possession for collectors and interior designers alike. Overall, 19th century Sultanabad Persian carpets are considered to be among the most beautiful and valuable antique carpets in the world. Their intricate designs, rich colors, and exceptional quality make them a testament to the skill and artistry of Persian carpet weavers and a cherished symbol of Iran's cultural heritage.
