About the Item

Late 19th Century Persian Sultanabad Carpet on Green Background with medallion. ( 9'4" x 12'4" - 285 x 375 ) This magnificent example of 19th-century Persian weaving exemplifies the grandeur associated with Sultanabad rugs. Originating from the Arak region, these pieces were highly sought after by Western markets for their sophisticated designs and robust structure, positioning them among the most desirable antique rugs of the period. The defining characteristic of this piece is its deeply saturated field, rendered in a rare, mossy olive tone that places it within the esteemed category of green color rugs. This verdant hue provides a striking contrast to the secondary palette of faded terracotta, soft ivory, and subtle indigo accents found within the central medallion and the main border. The design features an elegant central medallion framed by sweeping, curvilinear vines and oversized palmettes—a classic interpretation of the Herati or all-over pattern. The generous scale of the motifs lends an open, airy quality to the composition, emphasizing the intricate detail inherent in traditional floral rugs of the late Qajar Dynasty. Woven to a substantial size, this piece functions perfectly as one of the highly versatile room size rugs, capable of anchoring a major living space or dining room. The wool retains a beautiful, soft handle, and the natural dyes have mellowed over time, imparting a patina that speaks to over a century of history and provenance.
