Sultanabad / 13650

This Sultanabad antique rug measures 432 x 533 cm and shows the richly worked floral language associated with the category. A dark, charcoal-toned field is filled with scrolling blossoms, palmettes, and branching vines, then held by a broad red border with layered guard bands. The palette blends red, brown, olive, muted gold, and softened pink, with low distress and visible tonal mellowing across the surface. Circa 1890 - 1910, it has the relaxed depth and worn clarity of an antique rug, where ornament and age sit in balanced harmony. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
