Breathtaking Light Blue Rustic Herati Fish Design Antique Persian Sultanabad Rug, Country of origin: Persia, Circa date: 1880
Sultanabad is known for rugs of fine quality, generous scale, and beautiful decorative drawing, and this light blue antique Persian Sultanabad rug is a striking example. Its 1880 date and softened palette give it the character associated with exceptional antique rugs.
The design features the classic Herati, or Mahi fish, motif. This repeating pattern is built around a floral center, diamond structure, and outward-facing forms that create a rhythmic allover surface. Its design connects naturally with Herati rugs, blue rugs, and floral rugs.
The watery blues and time-softened colors give the rug a calm, graceful feeling while the antique surface adds depth that modern reproductions rarely achieve. It can bring history and serenity to a living room, study, bedroom, or office. For help choosing the best proportions, see our rug size guide.
