Sultanabad / 13425

This Sultanabad antique rug measures 13' 0" x 15' 6" and presents a balanced field of scrolling florals, palmettes, and vinework set against a deep navy ground. The rust red border frames the composition with a steady, architectural rhythm, while cream, ivory, and muted blue notes keep the palette airy and layered. Wool lends the surface a soft, lived-in hand, and the low distress leaves the drawing legible throughout. Circa 1885 - 1905, it carries the quieter refinement that defines this type of design, with enough wear to temper the pattern and bring forward its age.
