About the Item

This early 20th-century Persian Sultanabad rug embodies the grandeur and artistry for which the region's weaving tradition is celebrated. Handwoven circa 1900, it showcases an expansive allover pattern of stylized palmettes, rosettes, and leafy vinery set against a deep, muted slate field. The floral motifs, rendered in soft shades of ivory, blush, terracotta, and cornflower blue, are outlined in warm coral tones that lend a gentle vibrancy to the composition. The design is organized along a subtle vertical axis, with mirrored botanical clusters and scrolling tendrils creating a sense of symmetry without rigidity. The generous border system features a classic Persian arrangement: a broad main border of palmettes linked by angular vines, flanked by multiple narrow guard borders with repeating geometric and floral elements. The color palette-rich yet softened by age-highlights the rug's patina, enhancing its antique charm. Woven in wool with a supple handle and a dense, durable pile, this Sultanabad reflects both the region's commitment to quality craftsmanship and its openness to large-scale, Western-oriented formats. Its spacious design and harmonious colors make it as versatile in contemporary interiors as it is evocative of its historic origins. As part of the curated collection at Doris Leslie Blau, a brand celebrated for its dedication to quality and design heritage, this rug exemplifies their commitment to originality and artisanry. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
