Sultanabad / 11011

A generous Sultanabad woven in wool, this antique rug presents a warm rust-red field punctuated by indigo and teal palmettes and a bold indigo floral border. The composition centers on a softened medallion and flowing vine motifs rendered with a relaxed, hand-drawn quality. Low overall distress preserves clear pattern definition while subtle abrash and gentle surface wear lend a layered, tactile patina. The scale reads large and grounded, the colours remaining nuanced rather than bright. Circa 1900 - 1920. Measurements: 9' 4" x 12' 7". The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
