8x10 Antique Sultanabad Persian rug
This is an antique 1880’s Sultanabad rug from late nineteenth century. It is also known as a Mahal rug. These types of rugs are highly regarded and desirable as they have an outstanding design, sophisticated and decorative aesthetic. They are harder to find in the market. Size is 8x10.
This rug is in good shape and has a part that has been repaired wonderfully. Please see pics. It has earth tones and all over floral design. Very charming which is why these rugs are preferred for originality and inspired artistry as well as for their compatibility and versatility with the finest interiors. This is a distinguished antique rug.
Please feel free to ask me any questions.
Thank you for looking :-)
My story: i grew up in Los Angeles around antiques my whole life due to the culture and history of my family and their love for rugs and antiques. i have learned this trade naturally through many members of my family that have been in this arena, and under the wing of one of my uncles who has been in the business for 4 decades, i have learned a thing or two. He has driven throughout the entire country many times over, finding great antiques over the years and has sold to dealers and retailers daily. He is known to have an eye for spotting treasures and has taught me the rich value and history of rugs, down to identifying the texture, weave, tribe and region of each piece.
With this valuable education and mentoring, i have become a passionate hobbyist and i seek to find genuine, valuable rugs from around the country to buy and sell low, at wholesale prices. All the rugs i list do sell for a lot more in a rug store, but i have the pleasure to collect and sell these to private parties or to any dealers who would like them at bargain pricing. i welcome any questions or comments and wish you luck in your quest for finding your ideal rug. Thank you in advance for looking at my items and if you have a particular thing in mind that you don't see here, please contact me as i don't list everything.
