Antique Sultanabad Carpet

Beautiful Antique Sultanabad carpet, from the late 19th century with the softest natural colours and a rare green border and natural off white main field colour. Soft terracotta tones used for the flowing vines, a very handsome decorative antique carpet woven around 130 years ago. 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.
