Sultanabad Rug
Sultanabad carpets originate from central Persia (Iran), in and around the city historically known as Sultanabad. Rising to prominence in the late 19th century, Sultanabad became one of the most influential weaving centers in Persia, particularly renowned for producing rugs that combined traditional Persian artistry with a scale and aesthetic well suited to international markets.
Woven in Persia, authentic Sultanabad rugs are celebrated for their generous proportions, softly stylized floral motifs, and harmonious, balanced color palettes. Unlike highly intricate court carpets, Sultanabad designs favor open fields, large palmettes, scrolling vines, and all-over floral patterns that create a sense of rhythm, clarity, and visual ease. This approach results in rugs that feel elegant yet relaxed—refined without being overly formal.
Hand-knotted using traditional Persian techniques, Sultanabad rugs are crafted from high-quality wool selected for durability and comfort. The wool's natural resilience supports long-term use while allowing colors to settle gracefully into the design, enhancing depth and warmth over time. The weaving emphasizes structure and proportion, ensuring both visual harmony and lasting integrity.
The hallmark of Persian Sultanabad rugs lies in their versatility. Their calm compositions and balanced palettes allow them to complement a wide range of interiors, from classical and traditional spaces to modern and transitional settings.
More than decorative textiles, Sultanabad rugs woven in Persia represent a pivotal chapter in Iranian carpet history—where regional craftsmanship met evolving global taste. Owning a Persian Sultanabad rug is an investment in authenticity, enduring quality, and a design legacy that has remained relevant for more than a century.

Commission Your Own
This piece is one of a kind — but the artisans who wove it can create a new rug in its spirit, hand-knotted to your exact dimensions.
Every hand-knotted rug begins with a single knot.
Skilled artisans tie each knot entirely by hand, one at a time, using techniques that
have been passed down through generations. Depending on the size and intricacy of
the design, a room-sized rug may contain millions of individually tied knots.
For a single weaver, completing one masterpiece can take one to two years—or even
longer—making every rug a remarkable work of art, craftsmanship, and patience.
