Antique Sultanabad Persian Geometric Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exemplary late 19th-century Persian weaving originates from the Sultanabad region, renowned for producing large-scale, decorative carpets tailored for Western markets. This piece represents the highest echelon of antique rugs from the Arak province. The field is dominated by a deep indigo ground, providing a dramatic backdrop for the secondary colors. Hues of madder red, saffron yellow, and pale sky blue are meticulously woven into the repeating motifs, creating a vibrant yet sophisticated interplay of tones. This rich saturation is characteristic of high-quality blue color rugs from the Qajar period.
