Antique Sultanabad Rug, Persia, Late 19th Century – A complex allover tracery of interlacing arabesque vines and palmettes unfolds in rhythmic symmetry across the rich red field of this lush antique Sultanabad from Persia. A closer look reveals the subtle underlying patterns of intersecting circles and ogives that structure the entire composition. The red on green arabesque vine scroll border and the smaller scale of its design contrast beautifully with the field, essentially reversing its palette in gracious counterpoint.
