Late 19th Century Earth-Tone Persian Sultanabad Rug with Modern Biophilic Style

About the Item

77104 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Sultanabad Rug, 08'09 x 10'01. A vision of timeless elegance and masterful craftsmanship, this late 19th-century antique Persian Sultanabad rug captures the essence of regal refinement and artistic brilliance. Hand-knotted from fine wool, this remarkable piece features an opulent botanical design set against a deep black field, a rarity in Sultanabad weaving traditions. The contrast between the midnight backdrop and the warm, earth-tone motifs evokes an enchanting sense of depth, where nature-inspired forms unfurl with a mesmerizing rhythm. At its heart, an intricate medallion-like arrangement of blooming palmettes, stylized florals, and scrolling vinery cascades symmetrically, exuding an air of grace and grandeur. Encircling the central field is an exquisite lattice of angular vinery and delicate foliage, weaving together a story of Persian artistry and biophilic design. The palmettes, reminiscent of flourishing lotus blossoms, symbolize purity and renewal, while the curling acanthus leaves lend a sense of movement, reflecting the boundless energy of the natural world. The nuanced shades of warm camel brown, soft pink rose, aged sage green, and faded rust introduce a time-softened patina, imbuing the Sultanabad rug with an quiet sophistication that speaks to its storied past. Framing this botanical masterpiece is a stately Herati border, set against an elegantly aged parchment-hued ground. The border features interlocking palmettes and rosettes intertwined with curling vine scrolls, a motif historically associated with prosperity and harmony. This delicate yet structured composition is further accentuated by an inner and outer carnation meander guard border, which serves as a refined finishing touch, reinforcing the grandeur of the overall design. The harmonious interplay between the bold field and the light-toned border enhances the visual balance, allowing the intricate patterns to breathe with effortless poise. A true relic of Persian weaving excellence, this Sultanabad rug is a testament to the enduring appeal of antique textiles. Its timeless palette and intricate detailing make it a versatile addition to both contemporary and classic interiors, seamlessly blending modern rustic aesthetics with old-world charm. Whether gracing a stately dining room, an elegant living space, or a refined library, this magnificent woven wonder exudes a sense of history, artistry, and laid-back luxury, making it a treasured heirloom for generations to come.
