Antique Sultanabad Rug
Persia: 11.00 x 11.00 ft.
Rug #: 3199
Sultanabad, late nineteenth
century - The classic vinescroll palmette pattern
on this luxuriant antique Sultanabad is unusually
dynamic and animated. The forms seem to jut and
sprout across the surface with a vitality
redolent of real life. They also seem to glow in
contrast to the deep blue ground. The red-ground
border offers a clear framing element with soft
yet effective contrast to the field.
