About the Item

This vintage Persian Mahal Sultanabad room-size rug, woven circa the mid-20th century, features a bold and elegant allover design inspired by the celebrated Sultanabad carpets of the 19th century. The field is rendered in a rich red tone and adorned with large-scale scrolling floral and vine motifs in soft shades of baby blue, ivory, cream, and light yellow—hallmarks of the classical Ziegler Sultanabad aesthetic. The wide navy blue border frames the composition with striking geometric motifs that add depth and structure to the rug’s flowing central pattern. Drawing from the design traditions made famous by the Ziegler & Co. workshops of the mid-1800s, this piece embodies the enduring appeal of open, spacious design combined with a warm, inviting color palette. Timeless and versatile, this rug is ideal for anchoring a living room, dining space, or study with elegance and character. It pairs beautifully with both antique furnishings and transitional interiors seeking a bold yet harmonious textile statement.

Vintage Persian Kashan in Floral Pattern in Red, Baby Blue, Ivory, Navy
Located in Barrington, IL
Beautiful vintage Persian Kashan area rug hand-knotted in the mid-1900s. Kashan rugs are revered for their exceptionally fine weave, intricate detailing, and sophisticated designs, representing a pinnacle of Persian rug artistry. This exquisite rug features a classic medallion floral pattern, a hallmark of Kashan weaving, gracefully unfolding across a beautiful and rich red color field. The central medallion serves as a captivating focal point, drawing the eye with its intricate details. The entire composition is elegantly framed by a striking dark blue border, which provides a harmonious and sophisticated contrast to the vibrant red. A distinguishing characteristic of this Kashan area rug is its simple, uncluttered field design. This thoughtful approach allows the rich red color to truly "shimmer," adding to the unique charm and undeniable beauty of this small Persian jewel. The deliberate openness of the design highlights the luxurious quality of the wool and the depth of its color. Remarkably, this rug boasts a full pile and is in mint condition, a testament to its exceptional quality, meticulous care, and enduring craftsmanship. This makes it a rare find for a vintage piece, ready to offer both visual splendor and robust durability.
