Sultanabad / 13116

This Sultanabad antique rug, measuring 10' 0" x 16' 7", carries a restrained, time-softened palette of ivory, cream, faded blue, rose, and sage. An allover floral field unfolds beneath a narrow border, with scrolling vines, palmettes, and boteh-like medallions rendered in an airy, painterly way. The composition feels open yet detailed, and the wool surface shows medium wear that mutes the pattern with an appealing patina. Circa 1920 - 1940, it reflects the layered elegance and relaxed grandeur associated with Sultanabad weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
