About the Item
Oversized Antique Persian Sultanabad Rug (sized adjusted)
Size: 17'6" × 28'2" (533 × 858 cm)
This monumental antique Persian Sultanabad rug, dating to around 1900, is a magnificent example of large-scale Persian weaving at its most opulent. Its exceptional dimensions and rich coloration reflect the grandeur and refinement associated with turn-of-the-century Sultanabad production, a style celebrated for its decorative versatility and enduring artistic appeal.
The expansive field is rendered in a warm terracotta red, serving as the vibrant foundation for a symphony of stylized botanical motifs. Palmettes, rosettes, and vinery unfurl gracefully in shades of ivory, deep indigo, sapphire blue, salmon, and golden ochre. The symmetrical, allover lattice of floral medallions and angular vines evokes the garden-like spirit of classical Persian design while offering an open, airy composition that suits both traditional and contemporary interiors.
A series of finely detailed borders frames the central field. The wide main border features an elegant scrolling vine and floral pattern on a soft ivory ground, flanked by multiple guard borders adorned with rosettes, geometric flowerheads, and intricate reciprocal motifs. The sophisticated interplay of color, scale, and detail lends the piece a remarkable sense of rhythm and visual harmony.
Woven by hand using high-grade wool, this Sultanabad carpet demonstrates excellent craftsmanship and a soft, luminous pile that speaks to its age and quality. Despite its age, the rug has retained its vibrancy and remains in impressive condition, making it a rare and highly collectible work of textile art.
A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and 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.
