Antique Sultanabad Rug 42931

Mahal Rug, Persia, Late 19th Century - An allover design of curlin vinescrolls with leafy, wing-like fronds repeats in staggered symmetry across the field of this stunning antique Sultanabad. The palette of these elements is soft, using shades pf gold, pale blue, and ivory, but its effect is nonethelessdramatic against the blue-black ground. The border system with its angular vinescrolls offers a nice contrast to the field with its predominantly gold coloration and its much finer, smaller scale.
