Sultanabad / 19990

This Sultanabad antique rug measures 13' 8" x 26' 9", with an expansive allover floral field rendered in faded coral, teal blue, ivory, sage, and muted gold. Layered borders frame the composition with a classical rhythm, while the worn surface softens the drawing into a painterly, atmospheric whole. The palette has mellowed beautifully, allowing the large-scale scrolling motifs and palmette forms to read with depth rather than contrast. Circa 1920 - 1940, it carries the quiet texture and timeworn presence that define this wool example. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
