This large Egyptian Sultanabad rug features a graceful all-over pattern of repeating floral vines, palmettes, and delicate blossoms spread across a pale beige ground. A subtle central medallion emerges from layered arabesque forms, flanked by symmetrical corner spandrels, while wide borders use continuous garlands and repeating floral motifs in rose and sage tones to frame the design with refined harmony. The soft, washed appearance and gentle abrash create a serene, antique-inspired elegance.
Egyptian rugs in the Sultanabad style draw from classic 19th-century Persian Farahan/Sarouk designs, reinterpreted with lighter palettes and more open spacing for modern interiors. Hand-knotted with quality wool, these pieces offer medium pile comfort and durability, with intentional fading that mimics vintage patina from the start. The result is a rug that feels timeless yet fresh, blending traditional intricacy with contemporary restraint.
A 14×15 rug provides generous coverage for expansive living rooms, great rooms, or formal dining areas seating ten or more, anchoring large furniture groups with subtle sophistication. The soft beige base with rose and sage accents pairs beautifully with light woods, neutrals, or earthy tones, adding calm warmth without overwhelming the space. Wool delivers natural softness, sound absorption, and strong resilience, with easy care through regular vacuuming.
