Antique Sultanabad Rug, Origin: Persia, Circa: Early 20th Century – Crafted in Sultanabad, this exquisite room-sized carpet features a superb collection of rectilinear symbols and floral decorations set over a saturated scarlet field. The stunning large-scale arabesque centers on radiant burdock motifs and ornate trousseau boxes filled with arthropod motifs and a phalanx of lozenges. These bold centerpieces are framed by branching botanical motifs that lead to subtle lozenge-shaped space fillers resembling ornate blossoms. The intensely decorative field is framed by boteh guard bands and lavish main borders featuring reciprocating rosettes and a forest of serrated leaflets. Crisp white hairline accents define the symbolic decorations and embolden the strong rectilinear shapes. This distinctive antique Persian carpet showcases a splendid variety of large-scale designs associated with Sultanabad along with esoteric symbols that go unnoticed in European-influenced pieces from the region.
