Modern, Indian Sultanabad Persian rug design – Modeled after regional designs, this stunning modern Sultanabad rug features a lavish large-scale arabesque with grand floral motifs, supplemental details and filamentous vine scrolls that are set over a luminescent brick-red field. Outstanding Shah Abbasi palmettes with contrasting outlines and colorful details prominently flank the dainty quatrefoil where the meandering vine scrolls emerge. Dainty floral motifs and polychromatic saz leaves with deeply serrated edges create an intricate arabesque that surrounds the large-scale Sultanabad-style motifs. The exquisite turtle and vine scroll borders feature a somber wenge brown field embellished with reciprocating vine scrolls and elegant foliate motifs that incorporate a classic triad of Persian blue, ecru and celadon green, which reinforces the traditional style and composition of this modern Sultanabad rug.
