(High-Decorative)
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 carpet's spacious, profoundly expressive design could comfortably define a special space.
