About the Item

79130 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Sultanabad Rug, 10'08 x 13'08. This hand-knotted wool antique Persian Sultanabad rug from the late 19th century is a stunning testament to the artistry and symbolism of Persian weaving traditions. Its densely patterned field is adorned with intricate Herati motifs, creating the impression of a blooming midnight garden on a navy blue backdrop. This arrangement reflects a sense of harmony and interconnectedness, drawing inspiration from nature's cycles and the Persian cultural emphasis on beauty and balance. Also known as the Mahi or Fish pattern, the Herati motif is one of the most widespread and well-known Persian designs. Its composition features a flower centered in a diamond, surrounded by curving lanceolate leaves that resemble fish swimming in harmony. This ancient pattern, believed to symbolize fish rising just beneath the water’s surface to swim in the full moon’s reflection, imbues the rug with a sense of mysticism and cultural depth. Together, these elements create a continuous pattern that evokes life's cyclical nature, making this rug not only a decorative piece but also a meaningful narrative of cultural heritage. Framing the intricate field is an inner crenelated fence guard border, offering a sense of protection and structure. This design element provides a visual transition between the field and the regal main border, which features a classic Herati rendered in bold hues on a rich red background. The striking red tones are both grounding and vibrant, highlighting the elegance of the central design while introducing a layer of warmth and energy. Double inner and outer floral meander guard bands further enhance the border's complexity, adding subtle movement and detail to the composition. This antique Persian Sultanabad rug captures the essence of modern rustic charm, merging its historical significance with timeless design principles. Its interplay of deep, saturated tones and delicate details creates a sophisticated yet approachable aesthetic. Ideal for contemporary spaces seeking warmth and character, this woven wonder brings with it not only the beauty of a bygone era but also the enduring symbolism of nature, balance, and cultural refinement.
