The prized keyhole design occasionally encountered in antique Sultanabad carpets is rendered with uncommon subtlety, balance and fluidity in this extremely harmonious approximately 145-year-old supremely decorative offering in wonderful condition. Every part of its presentation establishes its quiet theme. The spacious allover framing design of the key motif is understated and seamlessly integrated into the individual blossoms and fronds. The overall very soft palette is a superb alternative to the saturated indigo and carnelian hues most often seen in this style, instead employing novel golden highlights and a captivating steel blue border frame. The result is the ideal foundation for any subdued yet sophisticated décor.
