About the Item
73419 Vintage Persian Sultanabad Rug, 16'04 x 17'08. From the historic weaving ateliers of west-central Persia comes this vintage Persian Sultanabad rug, a majestic expression of timeless artistry and cultivated grandeur. Hand-knotted in wool by master artisans, this exquisite piece captures the essence of Sultanabad’s golden era—where the scale of design met the grace of proportion, and every precious knot was an act of devotion. The luminous camel field unfolds like parchment kissed by desert light, adorned with an elegant allover botanical pattern rendered in hues of golden beige, sky blue, russet, cerulean, and peach. Each sumptuous color, softened by time, resonates with the warmth of an heirloom passed through noble hands, exuding an air of effortless prestige and refinement.
The artistry of Sultanabad weaving lies in its harmonious orchestration of form and space, and this magnificent example embodies that legacy to perfection. A rhythmic lattice of stylized palmettes, rosettes, and floral vases seems to drift across the field, each signature motif connected by graceful vine scrolls that flow like calligraphy. The spacious composition allows the design to breathe—a hallmark of Sultanabad’s most coveted works. This openness lends this cherished treasure a modern sensibility, its organic motifs harmonizing beautifully with contemporary interiors, while its heritage craftsmanship anchors it in a world of enduring sophistication.
The grand border, adorned with meandering vines and majestic lotus blossoms, serves as a stately frame for the garden-like interior. Warm terra cotta tones intermingle with soft blue, creating a palette that is both grounded and transcendent. Fine guard bands encircle the composition, offering rhythmic precision that balances the lyrical movement of the floral field. The wool—velvety, lustrous, and meticulously hand-spun—reveals the subtle abrash that distinguishes true artistry from mere replication. This interplay of nuance and texture gives this extraordinary masterpiece an iridescent life, one that shifts gently with the changing light, transforming every room into a living work of art.
To acquire this one-of-a-kind vintage Persian Sultanabad rug is to embrace the rarest form of luxury: the union of heritage, craftsmanship, and quiet majesty. Its presence elevates any space from beautiful to transcendent, bridging the worlds of the past and the present with poise and grace. Whether gracing a grand salon or grounding a contemporary estate, this exquisite work of art stands as both an heirloom and a declaration of taste. This is not simply a rug—it is a woven symphony of Persian elegance, a testament to refinement that only true connoisseurs will fully understand.
Rendered in variegated shades of tan, brown, rust, sky blue, cerulean, navy blue, terra cotta, taupe, peach, sage, and maroon with other accent colors.

View AllThe Gilded Atelier: A Vintage Persian Mahal Masterpiece of Timeless Elegance
Located in Dallas, TX
75823 Rare Vintage Mahal Persian Rug, 13'00 x 18'03. Graceful and utterly captivating, this hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Mahal rug embodies the aesthetic harmony of the Arts and Crafts movement—where beauty, craftsmanship, and form are united in quiet sophistication. Its abrashed tan field radiates the warmth of natural dyes, while its gentle patina tells a story of enduring artistry. Woven in the heart of Persia, this extraordinary masterpiece is more than an artifact of design; it is a testament to human touch, where each precious knot becomes an echo of a bygone era’s devotion to quality and individuality.
The exclusive composition reveals a refined architectural symmetry softened by organic movement—a visual dialogue between discipline and whimsy. Swirling vines trace an elegant trellis, forming four grand oval medallions that anchor the design like the domes of an ancient palace garden. Around them, a constellation of floral motifs—blooming palmettes, curled sickle leaves, and delicate sprigs—seems to float effortlessly across the field, each rendered in earthy hues of coral, midnight blue, and faded gold. This delicate balance of structure and spontaneity captures the romantic essence of the Arts and Crafts ethos, where nature’s poetry finds order without losing soul.
Encircling this botanical reverie is a regal border that frames the composition with stately precision. The Herati-style palmette border unfolds like a rhythm of petals and vines, enclosed by chained cruciform guard bands and subtle zigzag sawtooth stripes—a nod to Persia’s architectural mastery. The design exudes noble restraint, the kind of understated grandeur that once adorned the salons of collectors and the private chambers of aesthetes. Every line, every motif, feels meticulously placed yet effortlessly graceful, as though guided by an artist’s intuition rather than rule.
This vintage Persian Mahal rug offers more than luxury—it offers legacy. It is the kind of piece that transforms a room into an experience, imbuing it with cultural gravitas and timeless charm. Whether placed beneath a grand dining table or in a refined drawing room, it elevates its surroundings with a sense of history and discernment. For the collector who values authenticity and artistry over ostentation, this exquisite work of art stands as a woven symphony of elegance—a cherished heirloom destined for a life of enduring prestige.
Rendered in variegated shades of sand, tan, ecru, champagne, rust, terra cotta, peach, charcoal, navy-slate, greenish hues, and other accent colors.
