About the Item
Antique Persian Sultanabad Rug
Size: 9'0" × 16'0" (274 × 487 cm).
Radiating the grandeur of 19th-century Persian craftsmanship, this magnificent Antique Sultanabad Rug from the 1880s is a true testament to the artistic prowess of Ziegler-era Persia. Masterfully hand-knotted in wool, the piece showcases the signature aesthetic of Sultanabad weavings—an interplay of scale, symmetry, and stylized botanicals set against a richly saturated ground.
The central field features an intricate lattice of angular vinery and palmettes anchored by a striking floral medallion design, all rendered in earthy tones of chestnut brown, faded rose, olive green, ivory, and soft terracotta. These sophisticated hues create a moody, elegant contrast that reflects the nuanced patina of age and natural dyes. The highly decorative drawing and spacious layout evoke a sense of both structure and movement—hallmarks of antique Sultanabad design.
A lavish border system encircles the composition, highlighted by scrolling vines and blooming rosettes in harmonious repeat. The main border exhibits a rhythmic arrangement of stylized floral elements interwoven with rosettes and angular motifs, exuding a confident, ornamental balance. Subtle abrash throughout the field adds depth and authenticity, enhancing its antique charm.
This piece is not merely decorative—it is a rare surviving textile that carries the cultural and artistic DNA of Persia’s weaving legacy. In excellent condition for its age, the rug retains both the structural integrity and the aesthetic beauty required for modern luxury interiors.
Whether used as a focal point in a grand salon or to anchor a contemporary setting with historic warmth, this antique Sultanabad rug is an enduring artifact of refined taste and timeless craftsmanship.
This antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship. 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.
