Sultanabad / 12192

A Sultanabad of generous scale, this wool antique rug shows an all-over floral ground on a deep red centre, offset by cream and white palmettes with muted blue-green accents. An ivory main border of palmettes and rosettes encloses the composition, the whole reading as balanced and intentional. Wear is low with an even patina and delicate abrash that reveal the rug’s history while preserving clarity of design. The measured 417 x 549 cm proportions affirm its presence as a crafted, historic object. Circa 1885 - 1900. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
