Antique Persian Sultanabad Throw Rug (Pair: 2 of 2)

A wool pile of asymmetric knots on a cotton foundation. A visual pair to rug # 33634. An ornak is an elongated sampler mat that preserves a pattern rather than serving as a weaver’s guide. The bright rust-red to coral-red field displays a section of an allover design composed of rosettes, leaves, and petal palmettes in pale salmon, ivory, light and medium blue, olive green, straw yellow, and gray-green. The warm straw-to-ochre outer main border features reversing fan palmettes linked by pale blue-gray vines.
