About the Item

This Persian Zelesultan (or "King's Shadow") carpet was created, circa 1900 using a cotton warp and weft, hand-knotted wool pile and natural vegetable dyes. Commissioned by a prince who governed Isfahan and designed carpets from 1880-1910, it showcases the Zelesultan's unique style and superior craftsmanship. The pattern is highly intricate with vivid reds and deeps blues balanced by a cream background and striking border. The size is 4'8" x 6'9" and the carpet is in excellent antique condition. 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.
