Contemporary Black Persian Sultanabad Mahal Palatial Carpet

About the Item

61293 New Modern Black Persian Sultanabad Mahal Rug, 13'00 x 18'03. Like a starlit Persian garden blooming beneath midnight skies, this hand-knotted wool modern Persian Sultanabad Mahal rug radiates a quiet majesty rooted in centuries of artistic tradition. The expansive field, dyed in a sumptuous shade of deep black, becomes the perfect canvas for an allover lattice of stylized floral motifs. At its heart lies the classical Mina Khani design, composed of rows of radiant aster blossoms gracefully encircled by tendrils, vines, and subsidiary florals—each bloom meticulously placed in rhythmic formation. Interlaced among them, the revered Guli Henna (Guli Hinnai)—a sacred Persian motif depicting a central stem with starry flowers on either side—adds lyrical movement and symbolic depth, evoking a garden of healing and divine protection. The structured geometry of the lattice imparts balance and repose, echoing the sacred symmetry found in Persian garden design. This interwoven field pulses with symbolic resonance: aster flowers for immortality, Guli Henna for beauty and spiritual blossoming, and tendrils that speak to the continuous cycles of growth and renewal. Subtle abrash variations within the inky ground introduce dimension and texture, a testament to the artisanal hand and the organic richness of vegetal dyes. Each motif—though precisely rendered—retains an air of spontaneity, bridging the realm between timeless ritual and modern refinement. Enclosing this nocturnal garden is a resplendent turtle vine scroll Samovar border in luminous and earthy tones. This border dances with stylized floral medallions and angular cartouches, their ambiguous tribal character drawing from regional dialects of Persian ornamentation. Flanking the central frame are inner and outer boteh meander guard bands, delicate yet purposeful, their flame-like shapes guarding the sanctuary within. These framing elements echo with centuries of woven storytelling, harmonizing strength with softness, form with spirit. Emerging from the esteemed Sultanabad weaving tradition near the Mahallat region of Northwestern Iran, this contemporary masterpiece channels the grandeur of 19th-century Persian carpets while embracing the clarity of modern design. With its scale, elegance, and sophisticated symbolism, it is ideally suited for formal interiors, hospitality spaces, or collector-worthy installations. More than a decorative foundation, this Sultanabad Mahal rug is a woven poem—where every knot speaks of legacy, every motif whispers of meaning, and every step upon it invites connection to a heritage that still blooms today. Rendered in variegated shades of black, persimmon, tan, verdigris, sky blue, sand, brick red, dark green, baby blue, and beige with other accent colors. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 13'00 x 18'03. Hotel Lobby Carpet 13 x 18 Rug. Brand New. In-Stock.
