Sultanabad / 21584

This Sultanabad antique rug measures 11' 3" x 15' 3" and carries the quietly layered elegance this category is known for. A worn allover field of floral rosettes and scrolling forms sits beneath a softened outer border, while the faded red framing adds warmth to the muted blue-grey ground. The wool pile shows medium distress, with visible fading and gentle abrash that lend the surface a painterly, timeworn character. Circa 1900 - 1930, it reads as both grounded and atmospheric, with a nuanced palette that has settled into brown, beige, rust, and dusted blue tones over time.
