About the Item
A Timeless Masterpiece: The Antique Persian Sultanabad Rug
Step back in time to the golden age of Persian weaving with this magnificent antique Sultanabad rug. Hand-knotted in Iran around 1880, this oversized masterpiece is more than a floor covering; it is a piece of living history, a testament to the unparalleled artistry of late 19th-century craftsmanship. Its grand scale and sophisticated design make it a focal point of any formal space, while its rich yet muted color palette of brown and ivory brings a sense of refined elegance and warmth. This Sultanabad rug is an heirloom of exceptional quality and a rare find that promises to be a cherished centerpiece for generations to come.
The Grandeur of Sultanabad Design
The Sultanabad design is celebrated for its distinctive, large-scale patterns that fill the entire field of the rug. Unlike rugs with a central medallion, this piece features an "all-over" design of majestic palmettes, intricate floral motifs, and a graceful network of meandering vines. This pattern creates a powerful visual flow, drawing the eye across its vast surface and ensuring every inch is filled with beautiful detail. The rug is beautifully framed by a wide, multi-layered border, which is a complex work of art in itself. This border is adorned with its own intricate floral motifs and geometric accents, perfectly complementing the scale and grandeur of the central design. The symmetry and balance of the pattern are a hallmark of the Sultanabad style, exuding a sense of order and timeless beauty.
A Refined Palette of Brown, Ivory, and Subtle Accents
The color palette of this antique Sultanabad rug is a masterful example of sophisticated restraint. The dominant tones are a rich tapestry of deep and mid-tone browns, ranging from earthy chocolate to warm tan, which provide a deep and grounding foundation. These are beautifully contrasted by large-scale palmettes and floral sprays rendered in soft ivory and creamy beige, which give the rug a luminous quality. The true artistry lies in the subtle accent colors woven throughout the design: soft hints of light blue add a cooling, calming touch, while muted rust and soft green hues provide a delicate pop of color that adds depth and visual interest. This complex yet harmonious palette is what makes this rug so versatile, allowing it to complement a wide range of elegant and luxurious interiors.
Heirloom Quality: Hand-Woven Craftsmanship from Circa 1880
This Sultanabad rug is a testament to the legendary quality of hand-knotted Persian wool rugs. Woven by master artisans over a century ago, the craftsmanship and attention to detail are simply unmatched. The material is premium hand-spun wool, renowned for its incredible durability and resilience. Over its long life, this rug has developed a beautiful patina, a subtle fading and softness that only time can bestow, which adds to its antique charm and value. The dense, hand-knotted pile ensures not only a luxurious feel underfoot but also a robust construction that has stood the test of time and will continue to do so for many more generations.
A Grand Statement for Grand Spaces
With its impressive dimensions of 14 ft 0 in x 20 ft 0 in, this is a rare "oversized" rug designed to be the centerpiece of a grand room. Its expansive size is perfect for anchoring a large, formal living room, a sophisticated dining hall, or a luxurious master bedroom suite. A rug of this scale has the power to unify a large space, making it feel more cohesive, intimate, and complete. It provides a grand foundation upon which to build a beautiful room, defining seating areas and creating a sense of unparalleled luxury and permanence.
