Antique Sultanabad Persian Ivory 1890s Square Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1890s. This magnificent square example of late 19th-century weaving showcases the grand, decorative aesthetic prized in Sultanabad rugs. The region's output was specifically tailored for the Western market, favoring large-scale designs and a softer, more approachable palette than traditional city weaves. The expansive field is anchored by a luminous, warm ivory ground, a highly desirable trait among ivory color rugs. Across this light canvas, an open, all-over pattern of stylized palmettes, rosettes, and meandering vines is rendered in muted tones of terracotta, soft indigo, and ochre, creating an elegant and spacious visual cadence that brightens any environment. Woven in the 1890s, this piece represents the pinnacle of late Qajar dynasty weaving from Iranian Persian rugs.
