SULTANABAD
This wonderfully sophisticated, singular Sultanabad entrances the beholder with a vast open field of burnt copper embellished with a breathtaking use of artistic abrash striations (i.e. intentional color shifts), which add a sense of great visual depth. The minimalist Baroque medallion is a visual feast of dancing vinery and flowerheads, virtually lifting off the open background. Clusters of trumpet flowers serve as elegant spandrels in the four corners.

SULTANABAD
An unusually spacious rendition of the beloved Mustafavi pattern (stylized "Garden of Paradise") brings a dynamic character to this beautifully balanced approximately 130-year-old room-size Sultanabad carpet. An entirely harmonious marriage of naturally dyed tones, including coral, indigo, sand, and celadon against a cobalt blue base, provide another unifying quality to this deeply lyrical composition that also happens to be in wonderful condition.

SULTANABAD
This enthralling rug presents a fresh and lively version of the evocative floral stylings Sultanabad is known for in an unusual and stunning presentation. Three immense compartments exhibit a plethora of blossoming stems and vinery across its sand-toned ground. This diverse abundance is drawn with slight, personal variations between every element that reveal the artful improvisational skills of its weavers.

SULTANABAD
As a stylized floral carpet, high-quality antique Sultanabads are incredibly versatile. They offer graciousness and casualness at once, at home in an uptown high rise or a country estate. Presenting its center medallion on an open field format, this unique representative approaches regality in its colors and majesty in its design, while the border is slightly more relaxed and organic. An incredible depth from the vermillion and lapis striations serve to augment its visual allure.

SULTANABAD
An exceptionally aesthetically pleasing, asymmetric pattern of ever-changing giant flowerheads, palmettes, fronds, and buds meanders across a rare alabaster ground in this enchanting Persian Sultanabad. Bold outlining lends dimensionality and amplifies the visceral impact of every vine, petal, and leaf. Although the composition is relatively symmetrical in the horizontal, one should take on the challenge of spotting the gentle, spontaneous fluctuations of line and enjoy the inspired improvisations of the 19th-century weavers.

SULTANABAD
This exemplary 19th-century Sultanabad offers an elegantly balanced and fluid overall design employing several scales of well-spaced flower heads to create its remarkable, quite intriguing visage.

SULTANABAD
The patina of great age is magnificent, revealing the profound depth that emerges when these natural craft-brewed dyes have softened for many years. The allover palmette design is remarkably spacious and fitting for a carpet of such expansive dimensions, permitting the viewer to become enveloped in its artistry. Continuing the quiet, gracious warmth of the field, its cobalt-grounded border provides a heightened contrast to the shimmering buttercup, mossy green, taupe and guava highlights expressed in the field.

SULTANABAD
Showcasing a rare combination of deeply saturated natural dyes, including a cerulean blue base and burnished gold in its center medallion and spandrels, this is among the most dramatic examples of the casually elegant artistry we have encountered in the fine 19th century Sultanabad rugs. Rich striations of hue (known as abrash) shimmer across the field, while a majestic medallion presides with elegant, balanced symmetry.

ZIEGLER SULTANABAD
The splendiferous melon tones, aqua, peacock, and jade green are palpably harmonious as they inundate this stellar carpet's remarkably complex florid pattern. The asymmetrical pattern, ingeniously anchored by a vertical axis of 2-1/2 turquoise-centered wreaths, creates a timeless sense of luxuriating nature, the elaborate commingling of stylized blossoms of many different scales floating together. In themselves, exquisite are the dancing palmettes and graceful leaves that embellish the border as they perform the task of containing the beauty of the field.

SULTANABAD
A supremely spacious, elegant version of the classic radial medallion and Baroque corner-piece format emanates an Old World sense of grace and charm. While this culturally syncretic rug is “formal” or even “courtly” in concept, this piece demonstrates the Sultanabad love affair with the casually drawn line and reaches into the village weaving playbook. An inventive palette containing shades of dusky gold, olive green, ivory, and rose against a cinnabar red ground is a chromatic evocation of life and the joy of innovation.

SULTANABAD
An elegantly striking Rococo medallion features a stunning lotus at its center, glowing in rich saffron, oxblood, azure, and deep coral. A consummately knotted classical Herati pattern of diamond lattice, rosettes, and curving leaves provides a stunning matrix for the suave medallion to rest upon. Here the traditional design becomes an inventively expanded and enlarged filigree for stunning visual effect.
