About the Item

73833 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Sultanabad Rug, 10'06 x 13'06. Steeped in history and woven with the masterful artistry of 19th-century Persian weavers, this hand knotted wool antique Sultanabad rug exudes an undeniable grandeur, its luminous golden field adorned with an exquisite botanical symphony. The soft yet radiant hues, mellowed by time, form a mesmerizing tableau of stylized rosettes, angular vines, and intricate floral medallions, each motif echoing the rhythm of nature’s organic beauty. This elegant Persian masterpiece tells a tale of artistic ingenuity, where symmetry and fluidity merge to create a timeless composition. At the heart of this Sultanabad rug, a refined allover pattern unfolds—elaborate palmettes burst like celestial suns, while interlacing tendrils and floral sprays weave an intricate lattice upon the golden backdrop. Rich accents of deep indigo, soft terra cotta, and earthy taupe contrast against the warm ochre tones, lending a painterly depth to the design. The dynamic angular vinery and scrolling saz leaves, a hallmark of classical Persian weaving, imbue the Sultanabad rug with movement, while delicate blossoms fill the intervening spaces, reminiscent of a garden in perpetual bloom. Encasing this botanical splendor is a multi-layered border ensemble, where a Herati-inspired main border—adorned with meandering vines, stylized flowers, and angular leaves—creates a striking contrast against the field. The addition of delicate guard bands with repeating geometric motifs lends an air of intricacy, reinforcing the Sultanabad tradition of balancing monumental grandeur with meticulous detail. These design elements, beloved in Persian artistry, symbolize abundance, renewal, and the eternal cycle of nature. This Late 19th Century Persian Sultanabad rug is more than a woven relic—it is a portal to a bygone era, a treasure steeped in the legacy of Persian craftsmanship. The intimate patina of age lends it a soulful charm, making it an exquisite choice for those who seek heritage, artistry, and timeless elegance. Whether gracing the floors of a stately home or anchoring a contemporary space with its regal presence, this Persian rug bridges past and present with a warmth and refinement that only history can bestow. Rendered in variegated shades of golden ochre, tan, terra cotta, navy blue, taupe, brown, dusty rose, verdigris, rust, and sky blue with other accent colors. Abrash. Desirable Age Wear. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Iran (Persia). Measures: 10’06 x 13’06. Pile Height: 0.18 of an inch. Date: 1880's. Late 19th Century.
