Sultanabad Rug
Sultanabad carpets originate from central Iran, in and around the city historically known as Sultanabad (modern-day Arak). Rising to prominence in the late 19th century, Sultanabad became one of Persia's most influential weaving centers, celebrated for rugs characterized by generous scale, softly stylized floral designs, and harmonious color palettes that resonated strongly with international markets.
Inspired by these historic Persian originals, this Sultanabad-style rug is a modern hand-knotted interpretation woven in Pakistan. Pakistani weaving centers are widely respected for their technical expertise and disciplined craftsmanship, enabling them to faithfully reinterpret classical Persian designs while maintaining structural integrity and visual clarity.
The rug reflects the defining characteristics of traditional Sultanabad design: expansive open fields, large-scale palmettes, flowing vine motifs, and balanced all-over floral patterns arranged in a calm, rhythmic composition. The thoughtful use of proportion and negative space creates a refined yet relaxed aesthetic that has made Sultanabad rugs enduring favorites in both classical and contemporary interiors.
Hand-knotted using carefully selected wool chosen for durability and consistency, this rug provides a comfortable and resilient surface well suited for everyday living. The controlled weaving process ensures long-lasting structure and crisp pattern definition, while the balanced palette allows the rug to integrate seamlessly into a wide range of interior styles.
More than a decorative element, this Sultanabad-style rug represents the continuation of Persian design heritage beyond its original geography. Woven in Pakistan, it unites classical Persian aesthetics with skilled craftsmanship, offering a timeless and versatile addition to both traditional and modern spaces.

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.
