This massive new handmade Egyptian Sultanabad rug features an expansive open field with a grand central medallion surrounded by flowing vines, large palmettes, and delicate corner spandrels on a soft beige ground. The design includes multiple wide borders with intricate repeating floral and geometric motifs, creating a balanced and luxurious composition. Subtle natural abrash and gentle color variations give it an authentic antique appearance while the rug remains in pristine new condition.
Sultanabad rugs, originating from the Arak region in Iran during the 19th century, are celebrated for their large-scale, airy layouts and soft, harmonious palettes. This modern Egyptian reproduction captures the classic style with exceptional hand-knotting and fine wool, combining historical grandeur with contemporary durability and consistent quality for large spaces.
The hand-knotted wool pile offers medium density and a plush, comfortable texture, ideal for expansive living rooms, formal dining areas, or great rooms with high ceilings and substantial foot traffic. Its generous proportions and serene beige tones provide a sophisticated, calming foundation that pairs beautifully with antiques, modern furniture, or layered eclectic decor. Regular gentle vacuuming and protection from direct sunlight will help preserve the soft colors and intricate details for generations.
