Sultanabad / 10723

A substantial Sultanabad in wool, the field layered with palmettes, rosette medallions and a broad flowering border, all given an airy, aged patina. Neutral and cream ground tones mingle with faded blue and soft terracotta, the pile softened by medium distress and even abrash that expose a quietly tactile surface. This antique rug balances scale and delicate detail across 467 x 892 cm, its worn character revealing decades of use while preserving design clarity. Circa 1900 - 1930. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time. Subtle tonal variation keeps the drawing legible and grounded.
