Antique Persian Sultanabad Carpet

An antique Persian Sultanabad carpet. A particularly elaborate, but finely drawn allover pattern on the ecru ground carefully displays coiled arabesques, oval rosettes, small split leaves and a plethora of miniature floral devices. In contrast, the red border has big and bold rosettes, and two levels of leafy stems. Note the sky blue confined to border elements alone. It does not appear in the field. No dark blue.
