Antique Persian Sultanabad Distressed Rug 26380

This distressed antique Sultanabad rug features taupe and varied indigo ground tones, with a barn-red main border and detailing, and tan and ivory accents throughout. The distribution of wabi-sabi distressing creates a pleasing contrast to the rug’s large-scale axial design of interlocking floral, vine and palmette elements. Sultanabad, current day Arak in northwest Iran, became a prominent center of village and workshop productions in the 19th and 20th centuries, often for the European market.
