Sultanabad / 12604

This Sultanabad presents a warm cream ground punctuated by brown palmettes and an angular foliate lattice, a quietly sophisticated antique rug with a broad dark floral outer border. The wool fibre has a low level of distress, an even patina and gentle abrash that emphasises the design’s rhythm and texture. The composition balances scale and restraint, revealing muted colour harmonies and a lived-in surface quality. Circa 1890 - 1910. Measurements: 409 x 617 cm. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time. Subtle tonal variation keeps the drawing legible and grounded.
