Sultanabad / 12687

A substantial Sultanabad woven in wool, the composition arranged around large stylised florals, palmettes and cartouche forms. A neutral ground is enlivened by red and pink accents, with pale blue and gold notes adding layered warmth. Wear is restrained, an even soft abrash and low pile that retain fine pattern definition and a tactile, lived-in surface. This antique rug reads as measured and quietly historic, its palette mellowed with time. Circa 1900 - 1915. Dimensions: 378 x 526 cm. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
