Sultanabad / 15873

This Sultanabad antique rug in wool measures 290 x 396 cm and presents an allover floral field rendered in muted blue, cream, brown, and softened red. The border is more defined than the centre, bringing structure to the composition while the interior remains gently worn and visually quiet. High distress has lifted the contrast across the surface, creating a faded, layered finish with a tactile sense of age. Circa 1900 - 1920, it captures the grounded elegance and broad decorative vocabulary associated with Sultanabad weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
