SULTANABAD RUNNER. Persia, Circa 1890
ABOUT
This is a striking Persian long runner from the Sultanabad district of West Persia. The design is composed of two dramatically medallions in a lovely sky-blue on a sapphire blue background. The medallions are surrounded by stylised palmettes and plants drawn in a charming angular medallion. The design is freely drawn, displaying the weaver’s artistic skills. This is a visual feast, a display of Persian village weaving at its best. The materials, hand-spun wool and natural dyes are of high quality. Furthermore, the size is excellent, exceptionally narrow for a piece of this length. Cherished through the generations, it has survived in excellent condition. Professionally cleaned in our workshops, it is ready for immediate use.
