Story

Utterly magnificent. This carpet has a Farahan weave and pre-dated the Ziegler enterprise which was set up in Sultanabad in 1872. It features a royal Shah Abbas field of all over lotus flowers and leaves.

It has 2 main and very powerful attractions, age apart. One is the imposing size; the other is the formidable border. Not only is it quite wide in proportion to the carpet, but it is presented with an uncommon ivory color that contrasts sharply with the midnight blue field. On top it bears an extremely elegant sequence of calligraphic roundels executed in ultra elaborate Nastaliq script. The gist of this poetry is that the "carpet was created to go under the feet of the Sultans of the world" ie made for a royal audience-- and very fittingly in Sultanabad, the city of Sultans.
