This new Pakistani Sultanabad rug features a delicate all-over floral pattern with a serene, open feel. Gentle scrolling vines, large palmettes, and soft blossoms in coral and blue tones spread across the beige field, creating a light and balanced design. The borders show repeating floral motifs and subtle vine work that frame the piece with quiet refinement.
Sultanabad rugs originally came from the Arak region in Persia during the 19th century, known for their softer colors and more relaxed weave. Modern Pakistani interpretations use fine wool and careful knotting to recreate this style with contemporary lighter palettes. This example displays the classic Sultanabad openness with a medium pile that feels comfortable and durable.
The wool construction provides good resilience for smaller living rooms, bedrooms, entryways, or offices with everyday use. Its neutral beige base and gentle accents blend easily with light wood floors, neutral furnishings, or transitional and traditional decor. The size fits well under a small coffee table, beside a bed, or in a cozy seating area, and the hand-knotted quality ensures lasting beauty with simple maintenance.
