About the Item

This antique Persian Sultanabad rug, dating to the early 1900s, embodies the grandeur and artistry of one of Persia's most celebrated weaving centers. Woven by master artisans in Sultanabad (modern-day Arak), the rug reveals the region's hallmark style: an elegant balance between intricate floral ornamentation and bold, large-scale motifs. The field, rendered in a warm sand-beige tone, is adorned with a network of scrolling vines, stylized palmettes, and flowering shrubs in shades of terracotta, rust, celadon, and midnight blue. These motifs interlace with geometric floral medallions, creating a dynamic yet harmonious allover composition. The use of both angular and curvilinear forms reflects Sultanabad's unique ability to merge tribal vitality with refined courtly aesthetics. Encasing the lush field is a series of borders, the primary one featuring soft camel and tan tones enlivened with rosettes, diamond cartouches, and delicate arabesques in contrasting colors. The secondary guard borders introduce rhythmic, small-scale ornament, which provides a frame of balance and continuity. The rug's color palette-muted yet rich-shows the unmistakable character of natural dyes that have mellowed beautifully with age. Rusty oranges, deep indigo, and gentle pistachio tones highlight the floral details, while the sandy ground softens the composition, making it versatile for both traditional and modern interiors. Hand-knotted in wool of superior quality, this Sultanabad rug bears the durability and patina that only authentic antique Persian carpets possess. Its large-scale botanical design, combined with the subdued elegance of its colors, make it not only a decorative foundation but also a piece of Persian weaving history. 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.
