This large new handmade Egyptian Sultanabad rug features an expansive open field with a graceful central medallion surrounded by flowing vines, large palmettes, and delicate corner spandrels. The design uses multiple layered borders with repeating floral and geometric motifs, creating a balanced and elegant composition on a soft beige ground. Subtle color variations and gentle abrash give it an authentic antique appearance while the piece remains in pristine new condition.
Sultanabad rugs, originating from the Arak region in Iran during the 19th century, are known for their grand proportions, open layouts, and soft, harmonious color palettes. This modern Egyptian reproduction faithfully captures the classic style using high-quality hand-knotting and wool, combining historical elegance with contemporary durability and consistent craftsmanship.
The hand-knotted wool pile offers medium density and a plush, comfortable texture, ideal for large living rooms, formal dining areas, or open-plan spaces with moderate to high foot traffic. Its generous size and serene beige tones provide a sophisticated foundation that works beautifully with traditional antiques, modern furniture, or layered eclectic decor. Regular gentle vacuuming and protection from direct sunlight will help maintain the soft colors and refined details for many years.
