Sultanabad / 10019

A Sultanabad in wool, this red-field antique rug measures 9' 3" x 11' 4". The composition is an all-over palmette and scrolling vine, punctuated by layered floral sprays and a multi-guard border that frames the central field. Warm reds sit against neutral and brown accents; soft abrash and low, even wear give the surface a tactile, muted glow while preserving pattern clarity. The wool retains a matte sheen and a sense of hand. Circa 1880 - 1895, this Sultanabad reads as a considered, heritage piece with quiet presence and textured depth.
