Description
This elegant Sultanabad carpet (#3019, 303 × 254 cm) is a magnificent handmade creation from Afghanistan, woven in the authentic Persian tradition that traces its roots back to the 19th century town of Sultanabad (modern-day Arak, Iran). Revered for its timeless appeal, this piece beautifully captures the spirit of vintage Persian artistry — combining soft colors, natural materials, and balanced floral motifs.
This carpet displays a classic Sultanabad design with grand floral palmettes, curling vines, and leafy arabesques gracefully spread across a warm beige field. The elegant sage green border frames the design perfectly, giving the rug a gentle contrast and sophistication. The large-scale motifs and open field space are characteristic of traditional Sultanabad weaving — a design style cherished for its refined simplicity and majestic presence.
Handmade by skilled Afghan weavers using pure hand-spun wool and traditional Persian knotting techniques, this rug embodies the finest workmanship. Each knot is carefully tied to ensure strength and even texture, resulting in a dense yet supple pile that feels luxurious underfoot. The weavers’ precision and artistry bring out the detailed contours of the floral motifs with remarkable clarity.
Dyed using 100% natural, plant-based colors, the palette features serene tones of beige, sage green, ivory, and hints of burgundy. These subtle hues give the carpet a vintage charm — calming and timeless — suitable for both classic and modern interiors. The natural dyes age gracefully, developing a soft patina that enhances the rug’s antique look over time.
Every Sultanabad rug tells a story of heritage and artistry. This piece carries that legacy forward — a creation inspired by the grand Persian designs once woven for noble houses and palaces. The motifs symbolize prosperity, harmony, and natural beauty, connecting the weaver’s art to centuries of Persian cultural expression.
At 303 × 254 cm, this carpet is a versatile size for living rooms, dining areas, or master suites. Its muted tones and elegant floral rhythm bring warmth and sophistication to any space, seamlessly blending with both traditional décor and modern minimalism.
A truly authentic, vintage-style Afghan Sultanabad, this rug embodies the enduring beauty of Persian design — handmade, natural, and timelessly elegant.
