This Carpet has a pure wool pile and has all the spiritual heritage of carpet design looking back to the courtly carpets of Shah Abbas reign during the Safavid Period in Persian history. This time it is reincarnated into a piece with a modern soft grey field with a variety of cheerful but elegant colours in it's decorative detailing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Classic Format with a Contemporary Vibe\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePomengranate and palmettes flourish colourfully in this handwoven carpet. What is special about this piece is the elements of motif and formats of traditional Persian design but with more spaciousness, visual breathing-space and contemporary colours. The fineness of the handknotting allows the artisanal curvilinear detailing to be enjoyed, offset with a neutral bluish-grey field. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIntriguing Features of this Carpet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palmettes and sectioned flowerhead motifs are beautifully executed with multiple colouring. Notice that the two central pomegranates are uniquely interpreted. The border is spacious, uncluttered and more stylised and abstract than a historical floral carpet. Therefore, a level of freshness and modernity adds to the features and mood of this carpet. It is woven in a cotton foundation and after the carpet is taken down from the upright loom these cotton warps are cut, knotted and bound artistically. Here the finishing is exquisite with numerous colourful wool binding that echoes the multicolours of the carpet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of Origin: Afghanistan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 237  x 179cm \/ 7'9\" x 5'11\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness: 8mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile: Wool, Handknotted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarp: Cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge: New\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Oriental Rug Merchant Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58081572815179,"sku":"TORM-1156-FINE GREY HANDMADE SULTANI CARPET-237 X 179CM","price":1595.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1070\/3113\/4539\/files\/Sultani-grey-2.37x1.79m-MAIN.jpg?v=1786283042","url":"https:\/\/theorientalrugmerchant.co.uk\/products\/fine-grey-handmade-sultani-carpet","provider":"The Oriental Rug Merchant Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
