Sultanabad / 16062

This Sultanabad antique rug in wool measures 13' 9" x 15' 6" and presents the generous scale and layered ornament associated with the style. A worn red field is softened by age, while a deep navy border carries flowering branches, rosettes, and scrolling vines in cream, teal, and gold. The composition feels richly settled, with the pattern gently diffused across the surface and the contrast naturally moderated by time. Circa 1910 - 1935, it offers an elegant balance of structure and patina, with the character of an antique rug shaped by use and light fading.
