U-1653 - Antique Distressed Persian Sultanabad Rug

11ft X 15ft 06in

Sultanabad-Mahal-Ziegler Rugs

Circa: 1880

This extremely subdued and yet versatile carpet from northwest Persia has a deep beige field with a virtually tone-on-tone allover pattern of flowering vines, leafy tendrils and other vegetal elements. The old ivory main border continues the garden inspired theme with extremely elaborate rosettes among various short floriated stems and abstract posies. Among the accent colors is an unusual light lavender. As is usual on Sultanabad carpets, the groundweave is all cotton and the knotting is medium coarse. The allover non-centralized pattern allows easy placement of furniture. The generous size permits furnishings of any dimension to be easily accommodated. And the almost neutral color and design make it eminently suitable for any style of décor.
