Antique Persian Sultanabad Rug, Origin: Persia, Circa: Late 19th Century – Elegantly styled, this beautiful antique Persian green background Sultanabad rug showcases an abbreviated wagireh-style composition that features a partial repeat of an elaborate floral arabesque. These purposeful details capture the style, the color and the way the design could be reproduced. The beautifully oxidized ground features a glowing patina with warm ochre yellows and metallic greens. This robust coppery green field complements the warm burgundy accents and neutral ivory details that round out the traditional color scheme. The grand composition of the fluid Sultanabad rug style arabesque centers around two dramatic pineapple-shaped palmettes that are flanked by curvaceous fronds and sweeping vine scrolls. Demure birds perched on graceful branches inject the stylized composition with a sense of natural realism.
