Antique Persian Sultanabad Brown Handmade Wool Rug

Offered by: Doris Leslie Blau Rugs

Description
Sultanabad rugs share with Persian rugs all-over designs of palmettes and vine scrolls, but as they use a larger, suppler weave, their patterns tend to be bolder as well. This antique Sultanabad rug is a classic example of the Middle-Eastern craft. Within its imposing body there hides historical legacy and recherché beauty of traditional Oriental art.
The main field of the antique rug exhibits an allover design of palmettes interconnected by flower heads and vines, finished with four corner spandrels. It is enclosed within a series of borders, the main of which carries a flowing pattern of stylized acanthus leaves and rosettes. Rendered in a neutral color palette of sandy and light beige against the light brown background, this Sultanabad rug will seamlessly match any kind of décor, bringing in a touch of warmth and exotic appeal.
Next to beautiful appearance, the Persian rug can boast of excellent execution by hand of supreme wool. Despite being over one hundred years old, the Oriental carpet shows no signs of wear. Under the condition of proper maintenance, it will preserve its mesmerizing shape for the generations yet to come.
