An early 20th century antique Sultanabad rug from West Persia, the abrashed rust field with palmettes, flowering vines and cloudbands within a pistachio flowering vinery border. Antique Sultanabad rugs are among the most desirable Persian antique rugs to be produced in the late 19th and early 20th century. Characterized by their subtle color palettes and trellis designs, antique Sultanabads are frequently the choice of designers in search of allover Persian carpets to serve as a more subtle compliment to a design scheme.
