SULTANABAD, West Central Persian
10' 2" x 13' 1" Late 19th Century Price: $20,000
(High-Decorative)
The thoroughly enticing combination of the chartreuse to the emerald green border and watermelon-toned field of this complex Persian village carpet create a sophisticated, yet welcoming ambiance for the more formal rooms of a home. A classical Herati (miniature curling leaf and blossom pattern) field contains time-matured hues of apricot, peach, burnished gold, ivory, and sky blue intertwined in glowing harmony. The artistic use of abrash (purposeful color shifts) adds dimensionality and the patina of age adds a shimmering quality to the surface of this supremely decorative over 10x13 antique carpet.
