This large antique-look Sultanabad rug presents a grand, open composition with a prominent central medallion surrounded by flowing floral vines, large palmettes, and corner spandrels on a pale blue field. The design features intricate details and multiple borders with repeating motifs, finished with a gently aged appearance achieved through fine wool and natural dyes to mimic the patina of genuine 19th-century Persian pieces.
Sultanabad rugs, also known as Mahal, originate from the Arak region in Iran, where large-scale weaving flourished in the 19th century. These rugs are recognized for their spacious layouts, soft color palettes, and graceful, less dense floral patterns compared to more compact Persian styles. Modern reproductions like this Turkish-made version preserve the classic proportions and elegance while using contemporary craftsmanship for durability and consistent quality.
The hand-knotted wool construction delivers a luxurious, medium-pile feel with excellent longevity, making this oversized rug ideal for spacious living rooms, formal dining areas, or great rooms with heavy furniture. Its soft, muted tones create a serene backdrop that complements a wide range of decor, from classic to contemporary. With proper care, including gentle vacuuming and periodic professional cleaning, the natural dye colors will develop even more character over time without fading quickly.
