Antique Sultanabad Square Room Size Wool Brown Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional late 19th-century weaving represents the pinnacle of Sultanabad rugs produced during the Qajar Dynasty. Known for their grand scale and robust construction, these pieces were highly sought after by Western markets seeking authentic Persian artistry. The central field of this masterpiece features a deep, almost midnight indigo ground, providing a dramatic backdrop for the sprawling, curvilinear vine work. Woven in what is now modern Iranian / Persian rugs, the design employs an all-over repeating pattern of palmettes and stylized floral sprays, demonstrating the sophisticated draftsmanship characteristic of the period.
