Description
This antique Sultanabad carpet has a wonderful high wool pile all over and is full of delightful natural dyes. The variety of greens, pinks and purple hues work so well on this steel blue main ground colour – the border colour is a soft brick red tone, which helps ground the carpets palette adding warmth. A wonderful symmetrical pattern too, woven by skilled weavers over 120 years ago, this decorative carpet is ideal to place in a drawing room, study or snug for example. Condition is really very good too, a brilliant high soft wool pile all over. We can even see the original end finishing when it was cut off the loom.
If you would like to reserve this carpet and arrange a viewing, please make contact in your preferred way, we would be happy to help you.
Our home visits are available nationwide, please contact us to make an appointment. It can also be viewed at our barn showroom in Crondall, Surrey by appointment too.

Sultanabad carpets are very important in the history of weaving as Sultanabad was formally known as Arak which was once the capital of Persia in the 1800’s. Famous carpets such as Ziegler were woven in Sultanabad by the company Ziegler & Co which produced open large floral designs for western tastes and thrived in the late 19th century exporting these carpets to the US and Europe. Sultanabad carpets are know as older better quality Mahals woven from the mid to late 19th century there pile is much flatter than the younger Mahal carpets and using softer colours rather than the typical reds and blues we associate with most Persian carpets.
