(Decorative)
Casual elegance and a memorable palette of robust hues are the well-loved hallmarks of the antique Sultanabad style. This town rug is in a seldom found corridor size and offers a quietly splendiferous pattern. Numerous exotic tones adorn the field that shifts from deep indigo to walnut including pistachio, carnelian, coral, a luminous royal blue, and tangerine. This entrancing carpet's adept employment of charming botanical details suspended on a delicate lattice that seems to extend into perpetuity beyond the confines of this rug’s border suite, establishes an inviting sense of texture and visual interest for decades of delighted viewing. Fortunately, it is also in outstanding, nearly full-pile condition at 100 years of age.
