This large Turkish Sultanabad rug presents an elegant all-over floral pattern with repeating vines, palmettes, and delicate blossoms spreading across a pale beige ground. A subtle layered medallion emerges from symmetrical arabesque forms, flanked by corner spandrels, while wide borders feature continuous garlands, repeating floral sprays, and small geometric motifs in rose and sage tones. The gentle abrash and soft, washed appearance create a serene, antique-inspired look with refined harmony.
Turkish rugs in the Sultanabad style reinterpret 19th-century Persian Farahan designs, using lighter palettes and more open spacing for contemporary appeal. Hand-knotted with quality wool, these pieces offer medium pile comfort and durability, with intentional fading that evokes vintage patina from new. The result is a rug that feels timeless yet versatile, blending intricate traditional detail with airy restraint.
A 12×19 rug provides expansive coverage for great rooms, large living areas, or formal dining spaces seating twelve or more, anchoring substantial 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 to open interiors. Wool delivers natural softness, sound absorption, and strong resilience, with easy care through regular vacuuming.
