Sultanabad / 16762

This Sultanabad antique rug measures 117 x 178 cm and offers a quiet, time-softened interpretation of the traditional floral idiom. The brick red field is set with staggered medallions, blossoms, and scrolling details in cream, white, and muted olive, all contained by a finely patterned border. The composition feels orderly yet gently worn, with low distress and softened colour that speak to age and use. Circa 1880 - 1900, it reflects the restrained elegance and layered texture often associated with Sultanabad rugs, where the pattern remains clear but the surface carries a nuanced patina.
