Fine Weave Sky Blue Color Antique 19th Century Tribal Floral Persian Sultanabad Carpet

$34,000.00

This nineteenth-century Persian Sultanabad carpet is a rare and ethereal example of the "Ziegler" era of weaving, distinguished by its exceptionally fine weave and a breathtaking happy sky-blue field. While the Sultanabad district (modern-day Arak) is traditionally associated with bold, rustic palettes and large-scale tribal motifs, this specific specimen represents the height of the late 19th-century refinement. During this period, the Anglo-Swiss firm Ziegler & Co. revolutionized the local industry by commissioning rugs that blended the rugged, soulful character of Persian village art with a more sophisticated, "breathable" aesthetic tailored for the grand residences of America.
