Antique Persian Sultanabad Rug, Persia, Early 20th Century – This superb antique Persian rug from Sultanabad showcases an exceptional allover Mahi pattern that is rendered in an uncharacteristically dense small-scale format. The stately Persian blue field creates the perfect background for the subtle earth-tone colors that are featured within the tightly spaced Herati pattern. Filamentous outlines and subtle accents emphasize the graceful curves of each elegant botanical motif. The warm brick-colored borders add the subtle warm tones needed to complete the classic triad of cool Persian blue and neutral earth-tones that appear throughout the composition. The formal main borders feature elegant curvilinear turtle motifs surrounded by a lush network of floriferous vine scrolls. Multiple sets of narrow minor borders balance the formal composition and complete the stately color scheme.
