About the Item

More than just a floor covering, this exquisite Sultanabad wool oversize rug is a genuine work of art, uniquely embodying centuries of rich Turkish weaving traditions and bringing profound heritage and vibrant beauty into your home. Measuring an impressive 12 feet 6 inches by 15 feet (150 inches x 180 inches), this generously proportioned masterpiece is ideally sized to anchor and transform the grandest of living rooms, expansive dining halls, or opulent master suites, creating an immediate sense of luxurious warmth and sophisticated style. Its commanding presence and intricate design instantly elevate any substantial space, imparting an aura of refined taste and historical depth, where every hue tells a story. Meticulously hand-knotted from 100% premium, lustrous wool, this rug offers a luxurious blend of exceptional softness underfoot and unparalleled durability, ensuring it remains a cherished heirloom for generations to come. The rug's substantial and inviting estimated thickness of approximately 0.4 to 0.6 inches (1 to 1.5 cm) speaks volumes about its robust, artisan-crafted construction, promising superior underfoot comfort and long-lasting resilience. With an estimated weight of 170 to 200 pounds (77 to 90 kg), this rug's impressive density guarantees excellent sound absorption, superior insulation, and robust stability, making it perfectly suited for high-traffic, prominent areas within your home. Tracing the Roots: The Illustrious Historical Lineage of Sultanabad Design: The historical significance of this rug is deeply rooted in its Sultanabad design, a style that originated in the late 19th century in the Arak region of Persia (modern-day Iran). This period saw a significant demand from Western markets for large, decorative rugs with softer palettes and grander patterns, differing from the denser, more intricate traditional Persian designs. This specific area rug, with its authentic tribal style and characteristic design elements, represents a continuation of this rich historical tradition. While originating from Persian heritage, this particular piece hails from Turkey, showcasing how Turkish weavers expertly adopted and interpreted the highly sought-after Sultanabad aesthetic. This cross-cultural adaptation is a fascinating aspect of its history, reflecting the dynamic exchange of artistic ideas across the region. It likely dates back to the 1920s to 1940s, a period when demand for genuine, handcrafted pieces with a subtly aged aesthetic was particularly high. Each motif and stylistic choice within this rug tells a powerful story of ancient cultural heritage and enduring artistic craftsmanship, making it a tangible connection to a profound textile history. A Masterful Symphony of Hues: The Radiant Color Palette of this Sultanabad Rug: The true and profound allure of this Sultanabad oversize rug lies in its captivating and exceptionally versatile color palette, a masterful blend of radiant Blue, warm Red, and luminous Yellow, creating a vibrant and sophisticated foundation. This rug is a celebration of rich, earthy elegance, where each hue contributes to an overall harmonious and inviting effect, creating an incredibly adaptable centerpiece for various interior designs. The dominant and eye-catching hue is a magnificent Golden Yellow or Muted Ochre, which forms the vast majority of the rug's expansive field and primary background (estimated to cover approximately 50-60% of the rug's surface). This is not a stark yellow, but rather a warm, inviting, and beautifully aged tone, often carrying subtle undertones of golden brown or deep beige, lending it a timeless and rich character. This extensive use of yellow creates a luminous and expansive feel, brightening any room it adorns and serving as an incredibly versatile canvas that effortlessly complements a wide range of furniture and decor styles, fostering a cheerful and luxurious ambiance. Interspersed throughout the intricate patterns are beautiful accents of Soft, Muted Blues (estimated at approximately 20-25%). These blues are not vibrant but rather possess a delightful faded and antique character, ranging from a pale sky blue to a deeper, dusty teal or a serene periwinkle. They appear in prominent floral motifs, intricate medallions, and geometric outlines, adding a refreshing coolness and serene contrast against the dominant yellow field. These blues evoke images of a gentle, sun-drenched sky or tranquil, aged waters, lending a soothing and sophisticated quality to the rug's overall visual appeal. Adding bursts of warmth, vitality, and antique charm are significant splashes of Muted Reds (estimated at approximately 10-15%). These inviting hues, appearing in small floral centers, delicate blossoms, or subtle outlines of medallions, are not overtly bright but possess a charming, sun-faded quality, reminiscent of aged terracotta, faded rose, or antique spices. They provide vital, yet understated, focal points that gracefully draw the eye and subtly infuse the rug with a gentle warmth and a touch of ancient allure, enhancing its overall historical appeal. Finally, subtle touches of deep browns, soft greens, and occasional hints of earthy beiges (estimated at approximately <10% collectively) are also skillfully used for outlining or adding textural depth within patterns. These secondary colors seamlessly integrate into the overall harmonious scheme, enriching the rug's aged appeal with nuanced detail and providing gentle luminosity. This thoughtful and layered integration of diverse, yet harmoniously toned, colors ensures the rug feels profoundly organic, naturally aged, and incredibly dynamic. The overall effect created by this masterful color combination is one of serene beauty, artistic complexity, and a sophisticated foundation that effortlessly ties together any room's decor, making it a focal point of understated luxury and profound artistic appreciation. A Prized Addition for Persian & Sultanabad Rug Collections: As a distinguished member of both the renowned Persian Rugs and Sultanabad Rugs collections, this oversize rug holds significant artistic, cultural, and undeniable investment value within the world of antique textiles. Its design is a classic example of the Sultanabad style, highly sought after by discerning collectors and passionate interior designers globally. Investing in this rug means acquiring not just a functional item for your floor, but a genuine piece of textile history – a tangible connection to the skilled hands and artistic visions of a bygone era, bringing a rich narrative and an unparalleled design statement into your home.
