Antique Sultanabad Room Size Wool Burnt Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional example of weaving originates from the Arak region, known for producing some of the finest Iranian / Persian rugs of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The scale of the piece immediately confirms its status as a grand, decorative textile.

The central field is dominated by a rich, deeply saturated burnt rust hue, which transitions subtly into a sophisticated earth tone color palette. This warmth provides a striking contrast to the secondary elements, where stylized palmettes and vinery are rendered in soft creams, moss greens, and pale blues. The overall composition utilizes an allover pattern that ensures visual interest across the entire expanse of the wool surface.

Characteristic of high-quality Sultanabads, the design features bold, large-scale floral and botanical motifs interconnected by delicate, meandering vines. Framed by a wide, midnight-blue primary border, the piece maintains a powerful presence suitable for formal settings. Its impressive dimensions classify it among true room size rugs, capable of anchoring a substantial interior space.

The remarkable condition and clarity of the dyes suggest careful preservation over the last century. This textile represents the pinnacle of decorative weaving from the period, offering both historical value and immediate aesthetic impact.
