Sultanabad / 12236

A Sultanabad in wool, measuring 10' 4" x 14' 2", this antique rug presents a warm red field punctuated by cream and white palmettes and a quietly neutral border. The composition is an all-over flowering vine with large serrated palmette medallions and an ornate floral guard. Time has softened the colours and softened the pile to a tactile, low-distress surface that retains strong pattern definition and an elegant graphic rhythm. The feel is heritage-aware yet immediate, the wool responsive underhand and mellowed by age. Circa 1910 - 1925 The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
