Modern Sultanabad Rug, Origin: India, Contemporary – Grand Shah Abbasi palmettes and well-defined vine-scrolls with a loose and airy composition traverse the muted and subtly abrashed Prussian blue field of this Sultanabad-style rug from India. The elegantly styled field is framed by warm camel brown guard-bands and flowing borders featuring formal Shah Abbasi palmettes and finely serrated saz leaves flanked by scrolling tendrils. This exceptional Sultanabad-style rug from India is decorated with a symmetric arabesque rendered in a handsome combination of earth-tone colors, sun-baked browns, woody yellows and mossy greens set over a sumptuous Prussian blue field. The precise composition continues through the borders, which feature corners rendered with perfect symmetry. Woven in India, this elegant Sultanabad-style rug features plumy saz leaves, delicate vine-scrolls and handsome colors that add to its undeniable panache.
