About the Item

This Persian Sultanabad carpet circa 1880 was created using handspun wool and organic vegetable dyes. It is an exceptional Sultanabad by uniqueness of coloration and design, created by order of Prince Ghajar who governed over Arak at the time of its making. The colors are truly striking, with its greens, golds, and reds beautifully balancing one another. The design depicts the tree of life with motifs of flowers and roses, and the green of its medallion representing the greenery of the Farahan valley, where the carpet was created. It is a stunning piece in excellent antique condition. The size is 13'6" x 17'2". Orley Shabahang takes pride in selecting and curating the finest vintage and antique carpets, ensuring that the preservation of this ancient art form will endure for generations to come.
