Our international clientele always embrace outstanding quality antique Persian Sultanabad carpets, such as this robust large room-size piece with its vibrant cadmium red field and a festive array of unexpected accent colors. Skillfully drawn flowerheads, branches, and leaves, woven with deeply saturated naturally dyed colors of olive, honey, ivory with sky, and Prussian blue, delight the eye. Be sure to look closely to see how the striking overall pattern offers many nuances of pattern, scale, and tonality. A very strong construction and good pile make this piece even appropriate for heavily trafficked areas.
