About the Item

This exquisite late-19th-century Persian Sultanabad rug showcases the graceful artistry and grand scale motifs for which Sultanabad weavings are renowned. Woven circa 1880, it features a soft ivory field adorned with an elegant all-over display of stylized palmettes, rosettes, and angular floral sprays, interconnected by delicate vinery. The open, spacious composition-hallmarks of the finest Sultanabad designs-allows each motif to breathe, creating a sense of balance and harmony. The broad main border is richly decorated with alternating floral medallions and rosettes, framed by smaller blossoms and leafy tendrils. This border work, paired with the two finely patterned guard borders, is executed in a harmonious palette of warm coral, soft gold, sky blue, and rich chocolate brown. The natural dyes reveal subtle abrash, lending depth and a sense of movement to the design. Crafted from high-quality wool with a supple yet durable handle, this Sultanabad rug embodies the robust charm and decorative versatility that made these pieces favorites among Western collectors in the 19th century. Its understated elegance and refined proportions make it an ideal choice for both traditional and contemporary interiors, offering a tangible link to the artistry and cultural heritage of late Qajar-era Persia. 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.
