Antique Sultanabad Hallway Runner Wool Blue Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1880s. This magnificent example of 19th-century weaving showcases the grand scale and sophisticated palette characteristic of Sultanabad rugs. Woven during a period of artistic revival, this piece exemplifies the finest traditions of Iranian / Persian rugs, designed to complement the expansive interiors of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The deep indigo field provides a striking canvas for the highly articulated design, a hallmark of the finest blue color rugs. Large, stylized palmettes and delicate scrolling vines in ivory, ochre, and madder red traverse the central axis. This dramatic contrast ensures the piece retains visual impact even when viewed along the length of a corridor.
