Artfully drawn and executed, this magnificent antique Sultanabad rug depicts an awe-inspiring repeating pattern rendered in a rich assortment of regal colors.

Antique Persian Sultanabad Rug, Persia, Early 20th Century – Modeled after an ornate curvilinear arabesque, this phenomenal antique Persian carpet from Sultanabad features a stunning kaleidoscopic repeating pattern that decorates the field from corner to corner. Radiant octofoils, geometric stars and floriferous rosettes create stunning centerpieces that the spiraling tendrils and poly chromatic looping botehs and secondary botanical motifs revolve around.

Crisp ivory-colored outlines and poly chromatic motifs rendered in bold, saturated colors are juxtaposed beautifully by the somber midnight blue field. Minute guard bands embellished with traditional reciprocating floral motifs and regal red main borders decorated with floral doublets enclose the lavishly decorated field while showcasing the kaleidoscopic repeating pattern that acts as the dominant focal point in this arresting antique Sultanabad carpet.
