Breathtaking Large Antique Persian Sultanabad Area Rug, Country Of Origin: Persia, Circa date: 1880 – This breathtaking Sultanabad carpet was created in the 1880s and holds a special place in carpet history. The antique Persian Sultanabad carpets from this era are known for their beautiful colors and dramatic, oversized palmette designs. These designs are popular among collectors and interior designers alike. As a result, it is often difficult to find a great example such as this one, as many of them are already in homes and private collections.

During the later decades of the 1800’s, prominent carpet designers attempted to revive the once-famous carpet industry. They used traditional rug designs and motifs, but they modified them to meet the tastes of the European and American markets. The colors became more subdued, and the designs were created on a larger scale to make the grandeur of Victorian architectural styles.

This reinvention of the carpet industry in Sultanabad was met with enthusiasm among collectors and private estates. They have remained popular throughout the centuries and are still a favorite today. This gorgeous example uses mellow, earthy tones of reds, browns, and ivory.

This carpet takes its lead from traditional designs we see in Persian rugs. You can find many traditional motifs such as the lotus flower and a variety of other floral and familiar patterns. Sultanabad carpets are known for high knot count and soft, supple texture. They demonstrate a high level of skill, both in the design and construction techniques.

The colors of this carpet are harmonious and blend together in a way that only vegetable dyes can do. The design is bold and elegant. Many Sultanabad carpets are based on a medallion design, but this one is not. It is an allover design that gives the rug a unique character and feel. It also makes it an exceptional find in a Sultanabad rug.

This is a beautiful antique rug that has an eye-catching design that makes it the perfect foundation for a rustic or traditional interior setting. You could highlight its more tribal or traditional side, depending on how you accessorize it. Either way, it will make the perfect addition to your home or office.
