Sultanabad / 32111

This Saltanabad antique rug, measuring 12' 1" x 13' 7", carries a deeply layered botanical field softened by time. A dark charcoal ground sets off scrolling florals, palmettes, and a restrained central medallion, while the outer border brings in rust, ivory, muted gold, and faded coral. The surface shows medium wear and visible fading, which lend the composition a calm, collected character. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reads as both formal and quietly weathered, with a palette that feels grounded and nuanced rather than bright. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
