A 19th-century Persian Sultanabad rug from around 1880, measuring approximately 274.5 × 365.9 cm (about 9’6″ × 12’0″) — a comfortable room-size proportion that fits easily under a standard dining table or anchors a generous living-room seating area. The rug pairs a classic rust-toned field with a sky-blue border, the kind of warm-on-cool color contrast that is one of the defining marks of decorative Sultanabad weaving.
Sultanabad carpets from the 1880s are now well over 140 years old; pieces in this condition and size remain one of the most enduring formats of antique Persian decorative carpet, prized for the way their muted hand-dyed color saturations age into rooms over decades.
Hand-knotted wool. Authentic one-of-a-kind antique.
