Antique Sultanabad Persian Ivory 1930s Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional example of a Sultanabad rug from the 1930s showcases the powerful design aesthetic typical of the region. The field is dominated by a dense, repeating pattern, characteristic of allover rug compositions, which provides visual depth and texture without relying on a central medallion.
The intricate design utilizes a rich palette of deep indigo and oxidized terracotta, creating a warm, saturated ground. While the primary field color is dark, the design incorporates subtle accents of pale gold and cream. The inclusion of ivory color elements throughout the intricate stylized floral motifs brightens the overall composition, balancing the deep, saturated tones of the ground.
The robust construction and substantial dimensions of this piece ensure a commanding presence suitable for major architectural environments. As a large oversized rug, it is perfectly scaled to anchor a formal living room or dining hall, providing both historical gravitas and enduring warmth underfoot.
Woven during a period of refined commercial production, this piece retains the integrity and quality expected of fine Persian weaving traditions. It stands as a superb example within our curated collection of antique rugs, offering collectors a durable and aesthetically complex historical textile.
Condition: Good.
