Sultanabad / 17689

This Sultanabad antique rug, measuring 11' 4" x 13' 9", offers an expansive allover floral field in softened rust red, cream, and taupe, with a richly layered border that anchors the composition. The design feels open yet detailed, with scrolling vines, palmettes, and stylised blossoms dispersed across a mellow ivory ground. Medium distress lends the surface a quiet patina, allowing the wool to read with depth and warmth. Circa 1900 - 1930, it carries the relaxed elegance and decorative balance associated with classic Sultanabad weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
