No. 23882
Persia, Circa 1890
15 ft. 6 in. x 19 ft. 2 in.
(4.69 x 5.80 m)
An antique Persian Sultnabad carpet. The dark yet luminous blue field supports a well-drawn, original, allover pattern in cream, straw, teal, sky blue and red, with three pairs of illegible inscription leaves among ragged palmette/rosettes, sickle leaves, stems and other floral ornaments. The straw-camel border shows rosettes and associated leaves. This is an excellent example of the large carpets woven in the Arak-Sultanabad area in west Persia from the 1880s until about 1920. Unlike later Mahals, Sultanabads rarely repeat patterns.
