(High-Decorative)
("New Arrivals Gallery") Our continually changing selection of High Decorative carpets offers singular pieces for memorable interior design. A top-tier example is this inspired Sultanabad with its unique overscale flowers, lancet leaves, extremely lustrous wool and inventive, magically striated palette. Drama is captured through intentional abrash striation of the stunning crimson field tone, a technique antique Persian carpets offer that is unequalled today for sumptuous floor decoration. Notably, its palette does not include dark blue or brown, but tilts toward lighter tones, ending with a border of an entrancing, seldom-seen creamy ivory. Happily in extraordinarily good condition, this singular carpet offers an unusually spacious, profoundly expressive design that could comfortably define a special space.
