Sultanabad carpet(now called Arak) - West Persian, glorious red-madder plain field with a central lobed medallion bound by quarter medallion spandrels, olive green 'herati' mian border, West Persian, early 20th.century, 345 x 200cm, sold

Sultanabad is the home of the famous Ziegler carpets, in this case I have given the city name to describe the piece as its design is more akin to the classical Persian style, as opposed to designs the Ziegler designs which were export market orientated.
