Late 19th Century Persian Sultanabad Rug with Modern Style

About the Item

74681 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Sultanabad Rug,10'03 x 13'04. A grand display of Persian artistry, this hand knotted wool Late 19th Century Sultanabad rug radiates with regal elegance, its bold composition infused with centuries of tradition and masterful craftsmanship. At its heart, a striking central medallion unfurls like a blossoming flower, its intricate layers of midnight indigo, soft camel, and earthy ochre standing in dramatic contrast to the resplendent rust-red field. Delicate vinery and stylized floral elements emerge from its center, creating a mesmerizing symmetry that captures the rhythmic balance of nature and geometry—a hallmark of classical Persian weaving. The field itself is an opulent canvas of organic splendor, where winding vines and delicate arabesques meander across the warm red backdrop. These motifs, steeped in symbolism, evoke notions of eternal growth and natural harmony. The elegantly drawn corner spandrels introduce an additional layer of visual intrigue, their pale parchment tones adorned with stylized palmettes and curvilinear saz leaves, providing a luminous contrast that frames the composition with a sense of refined grandeur. A masterpiece in itself, the Samovar Turtle Vine Scroll border encircles the Sultanabad rug, a timeless motif distinguished by graceful vines intertwining with stylized ‘turtle’ palmettes—a symbol of longevity and protection. This majestic border, rendered in deep indigo and softened gold, serves as a visual anchor, enhancing the architectural beauty of the rug. Further reinforcing this elaborate framework are the double inner and outer guard borders, featuring intricate floral meander patterns that lend an additional sense of depth and intricacy. These delicate yet precise embellishments accentuate the timeless sophistication of Sultanabad artistry. This Late 19th Century Persian Sultanabad rug is a testament to the enduring beauty of Persian textile tradition. The softened patina of time lends it an ethereal charm, seamlessly bridging the grandeur of the past with the warmth of contemporary interiors. Whether placed in an elegant salon or a stately library, this antique treasure transforms any space into a sanctuary of history, artistry, and timeless refinement. Distressed. Desirable age wear.
