Sultanabad / 11287

A restrained Sultanabad in a warm gold field, balanced by creams and neutral abrash. The stepped central medallion and corner spandrels present simplified palmettes framed by a delicate foliate border. The wool pile is softened with medium wear, gentle fading and a mellow, tactile surface that highlights colour variation and handwork. This antique rug feels lived-in yet composed, its motifs whispering a heritage sensibility. Measurements 335 x 386 cm. Circa 1885 - 1900 The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time. Subtle tonal variation keeps the drawing legible and grounded.
