About the Item

Navy ground, rusty red border early 20th century Persian Mahal Sultanabad rug. Very good condition overall. Pictures shown from light and dark side Measures: 12'10" x 19' Exemplary Sultanabad antique carpets like this are preferred by many for their originality and inspired artistry and have forged an important niche in today’s decorative market for their compatibility and versatility with the finest interiors and other works of art. Because of their rarity, desirability and innovative spirit, the best 19th century and turn of the 20th century Sultanabad Persian rugs will continue to grow as art investments for many decades to come. Sultanabad carpets from the 19th century and turn of the 20th century have become perhaps the most desirable among Persian village weavings, as they appeal strongly to both connoisseurs and interior designers. These two important groups of buyers are attracted to them as outstanding examples of casual, surprisingly contemporary designs and for their sophisticated, yet often whimsical, highly decorative aesthetic. Often the finest in the antique Sultanabad Persian carpet style render spacious, very unique variations upon classical Persian all-over patterns, such as the Herati (repeated diamond and curling leaf), the Mina Khani (repeated circular flowerhead) and Harshang (highly stylized dragon and blossom). Finally, a small number of pieces can be found that employ wonderfully detailed renditions of the beloved Mustafvai (stylized “Garden of Paradise”) motif. Most Sultanabads feature these flowing, all-over motifs, while a small number present the central medallion format, seen often in other Persian carpet styles.
