Antique Persian Rugs – Antique Sultanabad Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: late 19th century – The classic vine-scroll palmette pattern on this luxuriant antique Sultanabad is unusually dynamic and animated. The forms seem to jut and sprout across the surface with a vitality redolent of real life. They also seem to glow in contrast to the deep blue ground. The red-ground border offers a clear framing element with soft yet effective contrast to the field.
