Sultanabad / 12192

A Sultanabad in generous scale, this wool antique rug presents an all-over floral composition on a deep red field, punctuated by cream and white palmettes and muted blue-green accents. A broad ivory border frames the field with repeating palmette and rosette motifs, lending the piece a measured, architectural rhythm. Low distress preserves a soft, hand-worn surface and subtle abrash that articulate dye depth and age. The 13' 8" x 18' 0" dimensions read as a considered historic object shaped by craft and use. Circa 1885 - 1900. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
