Mahal Sultanabad 1478

Late 19th century Persian Mahal Sultanabad room size rug. Woven circa the late 1800s, these rugs from the Sultanabad area of Persia.  This beautiful carpet features a captivating and very desirable all-over design pattern composed of intricate geometric motifs that gracefully cover the entire field. The design is set against a warm and inviting brick red color field, which provides a rich and sophisticated backdrop.

Adding to the beauty and uniqueness of the carpet are the elegant corner spandrels, rendered in a luminous ivory or pale yellow. These subtle yet striking contrasts enhance the overall visual harmony of the rug. The composition is masterfully framed by a beautiful navy blue border, which is adorned with its own array of bright and colorful geometric forms in vibrant blue, verdant green, delicate pink, luminous yellow, and classic red. This vibrant border perfectly complements the central field and showcases the masterful use of color.

The 19th century rugs from the Sultanabad area of Persia (modern-day Arak) are highly desirable for their unique color schemes and open, all-over designs, a style often associated with the prestigious Ziegler & Co. firm.
