About the Item

A beautiful example of early 20th century Persian craftsmanship, this vintage oversized Mahal-Sultanabad rug was handwoven in Persia circa early 1900s. Celebrated for its elegant design and refined color palette, this antique Sultanabad carpet captures the spirit of a bygone era when the art of weaving was at its pinnacle. The rug features a striking allover pattern composed of large-scale floral motifs, rendered in soft shades of ivory, pink, turquoise, blue, and green, all set against a warm rust-red field. The design extends into the wide navy blue border, where larger floral elements create a dramatic and harmonious frame. The interplay of colors and the fluid, open design make this piece especially desirable for both classic and contemporary interiors. The Ziegler Mahal-Sultanabad carpets—renowned for their inventive color schemes and spacious, graceful patterns—have long been prized by collectors and interior designers worldwide. This particular example offers the visual grandeur, soft coloration, and historic significance that distinguish the finest antique Sultanabad rugs. With its oversize proportions and sophisticated palette, this rug is a superb choice for anchoring large formal spaces, great rooms, or curated luxury interiors.

Vintage Oversized Persian Mahal Sultanabad Rug with Allover Geometric Pattern
Located in Barrington, IL
A captivating example of early 20th-century Persian craftsmanship, this vintage oversized Mahal Sultanabad rug features a striking all over geometric design set against a rich red field. Woven by skilled artisans in Persia, this piece beautifully embodies the timeless appeal and artistic legacy of the Sultanabad weaving tradition. The rug showcases a vivid red background adorned with a bold array of large-scale geometric motifs, thoughtfully connected by scrolling vines and stylized branching forms. The intricate design brings both structure and movement to the overall composition, making it a visually dynamic centerpiece. Framing the central field is a deep abrash navy border, offering elegant contrast and further visual interest.
