About the Item
More than just a floor covering, this exquisite Sultanabad wool oversize rug is a genuine work of art and a testament to centuries of rich Turkish weaving traditions.
Measuring an impressive 16 feet 10 inches by 17 feet (202 inches x 204 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 established elegance.
Its commanding presence and intricate design instantly elevate any substantial space, imparting an aura of refined taste and historical depth.
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 270 to 320 pounds (122 to 145 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.
The Enduring Legacy of Sultanabad Design – A Canvas for Rich Color Expressions:
This exquisite oversize rug embodies the revered Sultanabad design, a style that transcends mere pattern to become a profound artistic statement, rooted deeply in classical Persian weaving traditions yet beautifully adapted and produced in Turkey for appreciative global markets.
The design of this rug is its very soul, characterized by an exquisitely harmonious blend of bold, stylized floral motifs, majestic central medallions, and sweeping, curvilinear arabesque patterns, all artfully distributed across its expansive field.
Unlike more densely packed traditional Persian rugs, the Sultanabad design is universally celebrated for its more open, grand, and spacious layout, which thoughtfully allows individual motifs to breathe and command attention, creating an elegant rhythm that guides the eye gracefully across the entire rug. This openness is crucial for showcasing its complex color variations.
This specific rug masterfully showcases the quintessential tribal style, where the design feels organic, beautifully spontaneous, and imbued with a captivating, slightly rustic charm that powerfully tells a multi-generational story of ancient traditions and the skilled hands of artisan weavers.
Every intricate motif and border element within the design is meticulously crafted, from the repeating floral sprays that symbolize growth and prosperity to the often complex geometric or vine-patterned main border that impeccably frames the vast central field.
A Palpable Historical Connection Through Design and Pigments:
The enduring design and the characteristics of this rug offer a tangible and fascinating connection to its historical period, as it likely dates back to the 1920s to 1940s. This era marked a flourishing time for the production of these magnificent pieces.
During this specific era, Sultanabad designs were in extremely high demand, prized for their ability to exquisitely combine timeless classical motifs with a softer, more accessible, and gracefully faded aesthetic that perfectly resonated with Western tastes for antique and handcrafted goods.
The particular scale, color application, and unique interpretation of the motifs in this oversize rug are highly indicative of its genuine vintage, reflecting the evolving design sensibilities of the time while steadfastly maintaining a timeless and universal appeal.
This exceptional rug not only profoundly beautifies a space but also serves as a living historical artifact, preserving the rich artistic legacy of a bygone era and immeasurably enriching your home with a piece of tangible cultural heritage, partly through its authentic palette and the natural aging of its pigments.
A Masterful Tapestry of Muted Elegance: The Rich and Varied 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 that, while primarily listed as "Brown," reveals a deeply sophisticated and multi-tonal tapestry of subtle grays, blues, golds, and delicate accents upon closer inspection. This rug is a celebration of nuanced elegance, where each hue contributes to an overall harmonious and inviting effect, creating an incredibly adaptable foundation for various interior designs.
The dominant and overarching hue is a magnificent Earthy Taupe-Brown or Muted Gray-Brown, which forms the vast majority of the rug's expansive field and primary background. This is not a flat brown, but rather a warm, inviting, and aged tone that often carries prominent subtle undertones of soft gray, giving it a sophisticated, lived-in character (estimated to cover approximately 60-70% of the rug's surface). This extensive use of this complex neutral 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, from traditional to modern minimalist. It provides a soft, calming foundation that allows the more vibrant accent colors to emerge with gentle clarity, fostering an airy and serene ambiance.
Interspersed throughout the intricate patterns are beautiful accents of Soft, Muted Blues (estimated at approximately 10-15%). These blues are not vibrant but rather possess a delightful faded and antique character, ranging from a pale sky blue to a very light, almost dusty teal or a subtle periwinkle. They appear in delicate floral motifs, intricate border patterns, and sometimes geometric outlines, adding a refreshing coolness and serene contrast against the dominant background. 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 and luminous charm are significant splashes of Muted Golds and Ochres (estimated at approximately 10-15%). These inviting hues, appearing in prominent floral centers, stylized leaves, and segments of the border, are soft, buttery yellows or deep, earthy ochres. They provide vital, yet understated, focal points that gracefully draw the eye and subtly infuse the rug with a gentle vitality and a touch of ancient warmth, enhancing its overall historical appeal.
Providing delicate points of contrasting depth and occasional vibrancy are accents of Muted Terracotta Reds, Soft Greens, and subtle Plums (estimated at approximately <10% collectively). The reds and oranges appear in small floral details, adding pops of traditional character. The greens, from sage to olive, appear in stylized foliage, adding organic beauty. The subtle plums or deep mauves add unexpected sophistication, highlighting intricate details within the medallions and complex 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.
