Sultanabad / 12581

An elegant Sultanabad in wool, 9' 6" x 14' 0", this antique rug balances a pale ivory center with a warm red main border. Oversized palmettes and curling arabesques float across the field in soft pinks, muted gold and pale blue highlights; the hand-dyed wool shows subtle abrash and low, even wear that leaves a tactile, plush surface. A dense floral meander frames the airy center, giving the composition a quiet, heritage presence that reads luminous and time-softened. Circa 1900 - 1920. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
