Antique Sultanabad Persian Runner 40183

Antique Persian Rugs -- Antique Sultanabad Rug, Persia, late nineteenth century - This rare and unusual antique Sultanabad runner has taken as its design a long vertical excerpt of a larger palmette pattern customary on room-size rugs of this kind. The palette too is unusual, much stronger and more vibrant than what is common in larger Sultanabads. The border comes from Northwest Persian runners - Serabs or Kurdish pieces. The result is very much a one-of-a-kind from every point of view.
