Sultanabad / 11029

A wool Sultanabad antique rug, sized 264 x 320 cm, with a warm neutral ground and a rich red border. The composition centres on a floral palmette surrounded by scrolling vine ornament, small floral sprigs and multi-tier guard stripes. Surface wear is modest, the colours mellowed to soft sand and brown tones with delicate navy and pink highlights. The overall colourway and balanced scale read as quietly aged, reflecting practiced handwork and measured dyeing traditions. Circa 1900 - 1920 The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
