Antique Large Sultanabad Persian Allover Floral Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Country of Origin: Iran Persia, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional example of Sultanabad rugs dates to the 1880s, a period renowned for producing the finest quality decorative pieces from Western Persia. The palette is dominated by a rich madder red field, providing a striking backdrop for the complex botanical elements. Woven in the region of Arak (Sultanabad), this piece represents the pinnacle of 19th-century Iranian Persian rugs. Its considerable scale qualifies it as a true large oversized rug, making it ideally suited for grand architectural spaces where its presence can anchor an entire room with historical gravitas. The composition utilizes an elegant allover design, where stylized palmettes, vinery, and rosettes are distributed evenly across the field without reliance on a central medallion.
