Antique Rare Blue Sultanabad Rug – Circa 1920s (9.6 x 15 feet)

Description:
This Antique Rare Blue Sultanabad from the 1920s is a remarkable collector’s piece, distinguished by its soft sky-blue field – a rare and sought-after color in antique Persian rugs. The rug showcases delicate floral motifs and cascading medallions, symmetrically arranged in vertical columns. The design, characteristic of Sultanabad weavings, balances elegance and charm, featuring subtle yet intricate detailing that reflects the artistry of Persian craftsmanship.

The rug's borders are adorned with traditional floral meanders and palmettes, framing the central field with intricate geometric precision. The subtle abrashed (natural color variations) patina enhances its antique character, adding depth and texture to the rug’s soft pile.

Key Features:

• Origin: Sultanabad, Persia (modern-day Arak)
• Era: Circa 1920s
• Material: Hand-knotted Wool
• Design: Vertical floral columns with cascading palmettes and medallions
• Colors: Sky Blue, Ivory, Sage Green, Soft Coral, and Earthy Browns
• Size: 9.6 x 15 feet
• Condition: Beautiful vintage wear, some fading indicative of age, adding to its unique charm

Why This Rug Stands Out:

• Rare Sky Blue Palette – Blue backgrounds in Sultanabad rugs are scarce, making this piece a collector’s dream.
• Large Size – At nearly 10x15 feet, this rug is ideal for grand living spaces, dining rooms, or formal areas.
• Distinctive Patina – The gentle wear adds to the story and authenticity of this antique rug, making it a statement piece for traditional or eclectic interiors.

Styling Tip:
Let this rug anchor a room with neutral or warm-toned furnishings to allow the blue field to stand out. Pair with antique wood furniture, gold accents, or soft beige upholstery for a timeless and elegant look. This rug can also complement bohemian or transitional design styles, serving as the focal point of the space.

Care Recommendations:

• Professional cleaning only to preserve the integrity of the fibers.
• Regular light vacuuming without a beater bar.
• Avoid direct sunlight to prevent further fading.
• Consider using a rug pad for additional protection and longevity.
