This late nineteenth-century antique red color Persian Sultanabad rug is a definitive example of the "Rustic-Elegant" aesthetic that has made Sultanabad weavings among the most sought-after textiles for high-end interior design. Originating from the Arak region, these tribal rugs were famously favored by the British firm Ziegler & Co. for their ability to blend traditional Persian motifs with a spaciousness and color palette that appealed to Western sensibilities. The composition features a captivating Tribal Floral design, characterized by its large-scale, "deconstructed" botanical motifs. Rather than the tight, crystalline precision found in urban workshop Persian rugs from Tabriz or Isfahan, this Sultanabad offers a more relaxed and spontaneous drawing style.
