Antique Persian Sultanabad Mansion Carpet 22'2"×38'2" Slate & Salmon, Monumental Floral, Circa 1890

A monumental late 19th-century Persian Sultanabad carpet from around 1890, measuring approximately 670.6 × 1158.3 cm (about 22'0" × 38'0"). At this true palace-format scale, the piece is suited to the largest public spaces — formal ballrooms, hotel lobbies, gallery floors, and the most grandly proportioned residential rooms. The composition pairs a slate field with a salmon border, with a blue floral vocabulary woven across the field. Sultanabad/Arak was a major weaving center in west-central Persia in the late 19th century, and carpets of this size were typically commissioned through agents like the Manchester firm Ziegler & Co. Hand-knotted wool. Authentic one-of-a-kind antique.
