The Sultanabad tradition from western Iran favours open floral compositions with scattered botanical motifs across a generous field. This Indian piece reproduces the Sultanabad design in wool with silk highlights on cotton at 100 knots per square inch. The silk highlights trace the floral motifs, adding luminosity to the design.
The black ground at 6 ft 2 in x 9 ft 1 in is striking and unusual in the Sultanabad tradition. The silk-traced floral motifs appear to float against the dark field with an intensity that lighter grounds do not produce. The beige border provides clean definition without breaking the drama of the black ground.
In your home: Works in formal sitting rooms and dining rooms. The black ground pairs with gold, cream and ivory tones. Suits both classic and dramatic contemporary interiors.
