Sultanabad / 15231

This Sultanabad antique rug in wool, measuring 9' 5" x 14' 9", carries a softly worn field of repeating floral motifs anchored by a restrained central medallion. The palette blends cream, neutral beige, faded red, terracotta, and muted grey, giving the composition a quiet, time-softened clarity. Floral borders frame the design with a slightly irregular hand and visible age, while areas of wear and fading deepen its character. Circa 1880 - 1895, it reflects the layered elegance and faded formality that define this design tradition. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
