Our Sultanabad collection gathers one of the design world's perennial favorites — and reveals a side of it many don't expect. Though the Sultanabad tradition reaches back to the Arak region of western Persia and the celebrated nineteenth-century Ziegler commissions, the finest examples read as surprisingly contemporary: their large-scale, open patterns and uncluttered fields feel remarkably at home in a modern interior.
It is the colors and the motifs that win people over. Soft, sun-mellowed tones and the graceful spread of vinework and stylized blooms give these rugs a settled elegance that flatters traditional and modern rooms with equal ease — which is precisely why the interior-design industry specifies them so consistently. They are also, by reputation, exceptionally durable, woven in lustrous wool built to anchor a room for generations. For the collector, a fine Sultanabad is among the most treasured of decorative Persian carpets; for the designer, the dependable, room-defining choice that never feels dated. Explore our Sultanabad collection for hand-knotted rugs whose unique colors, open motifs, and quietly contemporary character have made them a lasting favorite of discerning interiors.
