About the Item
78652 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Sultanabad Rug, 08'10 x 11'04. Woven with an air of grandeur and steeped in history, this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Sultanabad rug from the late 19th century showcases the revered Mustafavi pattern, a design imbued with profound cultural and spiritual significance. Named after Mustafa, an epithet of the Prophet Muhammad meaning "the chosen one," the Mustafavi pattern represents a fusion of divine harmony and artistic excellence. The deep navy blue field of this masterpiece serves as an elegant canvas for an exquisite arrangement of arabesques, floral motifs, and interconnected vinery, embodying the principles of balance, symmetry, and the infinite beauty inherent in Islamic art.
At the heart of this composition, stylized arabesques intertwine with rosettes, lotus blossoms, and delicate vine scrolls, creating a mesmerizing network of botanical splendor. The intricate detailing of each element showcases the exceptional skill of Persian weavers, who seamlessly blended geometric structure with organic fluidity. The scrolling vines, adorned with poly chromatic leaves and undulating palmettes, evoke a rhythmic flow reminiscent of a celestial garden. Symbolizing prosperity, spirituality, and the eternal cycle of life, the floral embellishments infuse this rug with both artistic elegance and profound meaning.
Encasing this breathtaking field is a sophisticated border composition that enhances the rug’s visual depth and structure. A classic turtle vine scroll main border unfurls across a rich red backdrop, serving as a striking contrast to the deep indigo field. Flanked by a series of intricately woven floral meander guard bands, the layered framework reinforces the grandeur of the central design, ensuring that each element is both contained and celebrated.
A true testament to the artistry and devotion of Persian master weavers, this antique Sultanabad rug is more than a decorative marvel—it is a woven narrative of heritage, faith, and timeless refinement. The interplay of color, symbolism, and intricate patterning makes it a distinguished addition to any collector’s repertoire, offering a glimpse into the rich traditions of Persian textile artistry. Whether adorning a formal setting or a space dedicated to quiet contemplation, this Late 19th Century Persian Sultanabad rug carries with it a legacy of history, craftsmanship, and enduring beauty.
