Expansive in scale and regal in composition, this antique Sultanabad rug from Persia (15′5″ × 20′) embodies the grandeur and refinement of 19th-century Persian weaving at its most majestic. Its sky blue field, softly aged to a luminous patina, is filled with a sprawling allover floral design—palmettes, rosettes, serrated leaves, and flowering vines—all rendered with gentle asymmetry and timeless elegance.
The warm rust-red border, adorned with stylized lotus blossoms and boteh forms in sage, ivory, and chocolate, frames the interior with a rhythmic balance that speaks to masterful design. The color palette is subdued yet striking, with naturally faded tones that lend the rug an ethereal softness, perfect for sophisticated interiors seeking history, depth, and serenity.
Handwoven from wool, this monumental piece offers not only visual richness but exceptional durability—ideal for large-scale living areas, dining halls, or heritage spaces where tradition and artistry meet.
