About the Item

A Persian Sultanabad Style Runner This exquisite runner rug is a masterful tribute to the celebrated Persian Sultanabad design, a style prized for centuries for its grand, decorative beauty and sophisticated color palettes. It successfully combines the soulful character of an antique carpet with the pristine quality of modern craftsmanship. This is a rug designed to bring a sense of worldly sophistication and timeless elegance to the pathways of your home. Design & Style The design is a classic, symmetrical "all-over" pattern of large-scale, stylized floral palmettes and gracefully scrolling vines. This open and flowing composition is a hallmark of the Sultanabad style, which was historically designed to complement grand European and Western interiors. Its Traditional roots provide a deep sense of history, while its balanced and artistic design makes it a quintessential Transitional piece, feeling perfectly at home in both classic and contemporary settings. Weaving Technique & Material The incredible detail and durability of this runner are a result of the meticulous Hand-Knotted technique. this is the premier method of artisanal rug making. Each knot is tied by hand from 100% premium Wool, a process that can take months to complete and ensures a unique, heirloom-quality piece with a dense, soft pile that is both luxurious and resilient. Color Palette The color palette is a sophisticated and harmonious blend of cool and warm tones that gives the rug its rich, moody character. A deep, muted field of slate blue or dusty teal creates a calming and elegant backdrop. Against this cool canvas, the floral motifs bloom in warm, earthy shades of terracacotta, rust, soft gold, and creamy beige. The beautiful, organic variations in color ('abrash') are a testament to the use of high-quality dyes and add a layer of depth and authenticity to the piece. Age & Authenticity While this rug has the profound soul and appearance of a cherished antique, it is a contemporary piece crafted in the 21st century. This offers the best of both worlds: the authentic, historic design of the Sultanabad tradition and the pristine, durable condition of a newly crafted rug. Its authenticity lies in its genuine hand-knotted construction and its faithful tribute to a classic Persian weaving heritage, likely originating from the master workshops of India or Afghanistan. As a Runner Rug, its long, elegant proportions are perfect for transforming functional spaces into showcases of style. It is an ideal choice for: Creating a grand and welcoming entryway or hallway. Adding a strip of color and comfort in a large kitchen alongside an island or cabinets. Defining a space alongside a bed or in front of a long console table or bookshelf.
