Sultanabad / 15873

This Sultanabad antique rug in wool measures 9' 6" x 13' 0" and carries the quiet depth of an allover floral design softened by time. The open field reads in muted blue, cream, brown, and faded red, with a more animated border framing the composition in fine, traditional detail. Its high distress gives the surface a weathered, painterly character, where worn areas and gentle fading temper the pattern rather than erase it. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the understated balance and generous scale associated with the Sultanabad tradition. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
