Sultanabad / 12469

An elegant, softly faded Sultanabad in wool, 11' 0" x 14' 0", presented in a restrained neutral palette of cream, beige and muted rust. The field arranges large-scale palmettes and floral sprays around a stepped medallion suggestion, all set within a broad arabesque border. Medium distress has softened outlines and introduced painterly abrash across the surface; these tactile losses lend quiet depth and warmth to the weave. This antique rug reads as an early 20th-century expression of provincial design and craft. Circa 1900 - 1920 The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
