A magnificent hand-knotted Sultanabad rug in a grand oversized format, woven in Afghanistan from a luxurious blend of hand-spun wool and lustrous silk. This piece captures the softly faded elegance of antique Sultanabad and Ziegler carpets — a serene powder-blue field framed by a taupe-brown border, worked in a muted, sophisticated palette of soft browns, ivory, sand, and sage. The silk highlights lend a gentle sheen that shifts with the light, elevating the design with an unmistakable note of quiet luxury.
The field unfolds in a stately all-over composition of large floral medallions, palmettes, and blossoming vinescrolls, drawn with the graceful, open spacing that defines the Sultanabad tradition. The broad main border carries a flowing procession of rosettes and leafy vines framed by delicate guard stripes, creating a beautifully balanced, gallery-quality field. Subtle abrash variation across the ground adds depth, movement, and an authentic, heirloom character to the weave.
Hand-knotted using time-honored technique, this rug offers durable, heirloom-quality construction built to be handed down for generations. Its expansive 12' x 15'4" oversized format is ideal for large living rooms, formal dining rooms, great rooms, and grand entryways, comfortably anchoring full furniture groupings. The soft blue-and-neutral palette, enriched by silk, pairs effortlessly with both antique and contemporary furnishings, making it a stunning centerpiece for traditional, transitional, and modern interiors alike.
