Antique Sultanabad Persian Rugs 43325

Antique Sultanabad Rug, Persia, Late 19th Century - A grandly monumental design of interlacing vines and palmettes in autumnal shades of gold, terracotta, and soft blue unfolds dramatically across the black field of this stunning antique Sultanabad. A diamond-like configuration of vines provides a sort of latent medallion within the centralized composition. The border of palmettes and floral sprays set against a terracotta ground provides the perfect contrast of color and scale to the field design, complementing bold graphic effect of the field with a more delicate approach. The lovely wool of the pile adds a tactile dimension to the luxurious design and palette.
