Antique Large Sultanabad Persian Floral Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional late 19th-century weaving from Western Persia exemplifies the grand scale and bold palette favored by European and American designers. The expansive field is dominated by a magnificent, aged red hue, transitioning beautifully into lighter shades where the pile is lower, highlighting the natural dye variations inherent in this period. The all-over design features a dense network of stylized palmettes, curving vines, and delicate sprigs, interspersed with charming depictions of mythical beasts and grazing animals. This intricate layout eschews a central medallion, allowing the eye to roam freely across the composition. Given its generous dimensions, this piece is classified as a large oversized big rug, perfectly suited for anchoring a sophisticated drawing room or grand hall.
