Antique Sultanabad Persian Rugs 41320

Antique Sultanabad Rug, Persia, Late 19th Century - This antique Sultanabad is a masterpiece of counterpoint. The dazzling complexity and fine detail of the borders contrast beautifully with the large scale of the central medallion and cornerpieces, and with the openness of the pale blue field, even though the border and medallion share the same coloration. It is also a feat of design that the monumental medallion almost seems to float or hover on the sky-like ground.
