SULTANABAD Treasured for their often imaginative, even whimsical sophisticated visual rapport, the most artistic, innovative 19th-century Sultanabad carpets have now become virtually impossible to find. This is especially so with carpets possessing unusually wide, oversize dimensions. A ravishingly innovative, very early example, this stellar nearly 14x18 carpet offers a grand vision of asymmetrically oriented overscale elements coupled with spontaneous diminutive artistry that is a constant visual treat to behold. Two intentionally irregularly positioned, blazing floral medallions command attention against a ground like a rippled sapphire pool, with a third slipping slowly downward “off frame.” This sense of movement conceptually reifies that we are only witnessing a small window into a greater infinite spectacle. A wide coral-toned border further showcases an extraordinary palette of difficult-to-dye tropical hues. Resale Right: No! 13' 7" x 17' 7" 414cm x 536cm 3rd Quarter, 19th Century
