About the Item

Hand-knotted in premium wool circa 1920-1930, this 7x12 antique Sultanabad rug is a luminous survivor of one of the most celebrated weaving traditions in history. This rug represents a sophisticated era of artistry where tribal spontaneity met the refined demands of global aesthetics, resulting in a versatile body and an elegant, spacious presence. On the Design: This antique Sultanabad masterfully balances traditional and transitional design elements, anchored by an all-over floral pattern that breathes across an abrashed beige and golden-cream field. Historically, Sultanabads—often referred to as Ziegler rugs—were prized for their large-scale motifs and "quiet" elegance, a departure from the dense, frantic patterns of other regions. This specific piece honors that legacy with oversized ivory rosettes and stylized palmettes that seem to float upon the warm, sun-faded ground. Admirers of the craft will appreciate the sophisticated, mirrored floral borders that frame the field. The border features a refined series of vine scrolls and botanical icons on a golden-beige foundation, scaled perfectly to ground the fluid movement of the central design. It is a regal, unique piece that offers a fresh perspective on the bold, dramatic presence characteristic of classical Oriental carpets, distilled here into a soft, inviting palette that remains highly desirable for modern interiors. Condition: This antique Sultanabad Rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
