Blue Field Cream Color Tribal Geometric Medallion Small Antique Persian Sultanabad Rug

This late nineteenth-century Persian Sultanabad rug is a rare "jewel-box" specimen from one of the most prestigious weaving centers of the Arak district. While large-scale Sultanabad Persian rugs (and their Ziegler counterparts) are world-renowned for anchoring grand estates, this small scatter-size rug is a significant rarity, distilling the monumental "High-Style" aesthetic of the region into an intimate, scholarly format. The composition is centered upon a powerful Tribal Geometric Medallion, which commands the field with an architectural authority. Unlike the sprawling "Mahal" patterns that often define this region, this specific antique tribal area rug utilizes a more structured, tribal geometry. The central totem is flanked by stylized botanical motifs and geometric blossoms, rendered with the "soft-edged" drawing style that is a hallmark of Sultanabad.
