This antique Sultanabad rug was woven during the late 19th century and features a traditional rust color palette as well as natural-inspired design elements. The most striking and vibrant aspect of this extra-large oversized rug is the bright rust color tone that is present in the interior design of the central field. The curving vine and leaf-inspired designs stand out against this rust color due to their creamy ivory and fresh green tones. These curving lines draw the eye along the rug, creating an eye-catching centerpiece that is added to by the presence of beautiful floral elements. The border of this magnificent antique rug is a darker color, making the cream-colored lines stand out in a bold and eye-catching way against this rich dark ground. The patterns in the border of this rust-colored Sultanabad rug are natural-inspired elements as well, with shapes reminiscent of leaves or feathers making their home among small flowers and lighter-colored vines. On either side of the border with the dark ground, there are two smaller stripes which each feature a pattern of their own. The addition of these secondary borders gives the rust-colored Sultanabad rug a dynamic feel as well as making it look extremely elegant. The two patterns within this antique oriental rug work together beautifully to create a stunningly elegant work of art.

This striking antique medallion rug features a beautifully feminine color scheme with rosy Kermn pinks, inky accents, and softly shaded botanical motifs.

Delicate pink and pastel chartreuse green borders offset the creamy white field beautifully. These chic Indo borders are filled with conical cypress trees and pendulous shrubs that give the composition a highly refined style with subtle international influences and progressive aesthetic details introduced in late 19th-century designs.
