About the Item

Extra Large Antique Persian Sultanabad Carpet Size: 14'5" × 27'8" (439 × 843 cm) This magnificent extra-large antique Persian Sultanabad carpet, dating back to the early 1900s, exemplifies the refined craftsmanship and aesthetic grandeur that made Sultanabad rugs highly coveted among Western collectors and aristocracy of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Measuring an impressive 27'8" × 14'5", this monumental piece features a strikingly detailed allover Herati pattern—a time-honored Persian motif composed of rosettes and intricately stylized palmettes, leaves, and vine-scrolls. The primary field is rendered in a rich, steel blue, softened by the gentle patina of age and framed by sandy beige borders accented with geometric rosettes and floral tracery in soft rusts and powdery blues. The composition is beautifully balanced, with an emphasis on harmony and symmetry. Every inch of this carpet is filled with layered design, demonstrating the high knot density and meticulous handwork that is a hallmark of antique Sultanabad weaving. The secondary borders are equally captivating, decorated with continuous floral vines and angular corner flourishes that lend structure to the ornate core. Crafted from high-quality wool using traditional Persian knotting techniques, the carpet retains remarkable vibrancy and texture despite its age. The muted color palette, gracefully worn over time, enhances its charm and versatility, making it suitable for both classical and modern interiors. Whether displayed in a grand hall, gallery, or luxury living space, this rare Sultanabad carpet is more than a floor covering—it is a collector’s heirloom, a testament to Persian artistry at its finest. Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
