19th Century Persian Ziegler Sultanabad Carpet ( 10'5" x 10'6" - 318 x 320 )
Antique Sultanabad Persian Ivory 1880s Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1880s. This exemplary piece showcases the characteristic grand scale and bold, stylized floral designs of the Sultanabad region. The field is dominated by a soft, muted palette, focusing on the sophisticated ivory color that defines its elegance. The overall structure is typical of the finest Sultanabad rugs, prized for their substantial decorative impact.
Woven in the late Qajar period, this magnificent textile reflects the refinement of 19th-century Iranian origin weaving. The central medallion, rendered in subtle terracotta and pale blue accents, anchors a spacious field filled with oversized palmettes and vinery. The use of natural dyes has resulted in a beautiful patina, softening the contrast between the main field and the robust, rust-colored border.
The substantial dimensions of this piece classify it as a true room size carpet, ideal for defining a large living space or formal dining area. Despite its age, the wool foundation remains robust, exhibiting the desirable wear patterns that attest to its genuine antiquity. The open, decorative design ensures it complements both modern and traditional interiors equally well.
This Sultanabad represents a pinnacle of provincial Persian weaving, offering both historical depth and unparalleled decorative flexibility. It is a superb example of the enduring artistry found in the finest antique rugs, perfect for the discerning collector seeking a statement piece for their home.
