A monumental late 19th-century Persian Sultanabad carpet from the 1890s, measuring approximately 401.3 × 629.9 cm (about 13’0″ × 20’0″). The composition centers on a floral medallion design over an ivory ground, framed by a red border — a softer, more luminous color register than the deeper-red Sultanabads more commonly seen at this scale.
Sultanabad was a major weaving center in west-central Persia in the late 19th century, producing decorative wool carpets calibrated for the European and American export market.
Hand-knotted wool. Authentic one-of-a-kind antique.
