About the Item

This exquisite antique Sultanabad rug, woven in Persia around 1900, beautifully exemplifies the artistry and grandeur of carpets from this celebrated weaving center. Its expansive field rests on a warm beige ground, adorned with a flowing allover botanical lattice of palmettes, stylized blossoms, and leafy tendrils. The design displays a masterful balance between soft sky-blue, terracotta, ivory, and walnut-brown tones, giving the rug a harmonious yet lively character. Unlike more rigid geometric Persian patterns, this piece reflects Sultanabad's reputation for large-scale, free-flowing floral motifs. The drawing feels organic and naturalistic, with elegant symmetry anchored by a subtle vertical axis. The spacious arrangement enhances the sense of openness, making it especially suitable for both grand traditional interiors and sophisticated modern settings. The broad main border, set on a rich brick-red ground, features a striking succession of rosettes and stylized flowers linked by scrolling vines, flanked by multiple guard borders with meandering tendrils and small rosettes. This elaborate framing not only contains the energy of the field but also accentuates its painterly quality. Woven with a high-quality wool pile, the carpet has developed a gentle patina over more than a century, softening its palette and adding depth and character. The earthy yet luminous colors and the fluid botanical drawing epitomize the timeless appeal of Sultanabad weavings. This Persian Sultanabad rug is more than a decorative piece-it is a work of textile art, marrying durability with refined aesthetics. Its size, palette, and composition make it an ideal choice for anchoring a spacious room while infusing it with history and elegance. As part of the curated collection at Doris Leslie Blau, a brand celebrated for its dedication to quality and design heritage, this rug exemplifies their commitment to originality and artisanry. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
