This Sultanabad antique rug, measuring 328 x 450 cm, presents an allover floral field softened by age into a calm lavender-grey ground with red, cream, and muted gold accents. The broad border frames the composition with steady rhythm, while the centre remains quietly layered and elegant. Its low distress and gentle fading lend the surface a lived-in restraint, without distracting from the pattern’s clarity. Circa 1920 - 1940, it carries the balanced, textural presence associated with classic Sultanabad design, offering a grounded sense of heritage and warmth. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
