Sultanabad / 11283

A Sultanabad woven in wool with a soft cream field and an assured pattern of large palmettes and flowering vines. The neutral ground is enlivened by coral, indigo and warm gold accents, the motifs arranged with a measured, architectural rhythm. The multi-band floral border reads deeper, its indigo and rust framing the field while the pile shows low distress and a gentle, even abrash that softens contrast. This antique rug measures 7' 7" x 11' 10" and retains a tactile sense of age and craft. Circa 1885 - 1915 The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
