The Sultanabad design takes its name from a city in western Iran known for its commercial carpet weaving tradition, but this piece is produced in Afghanistan. Afghan weavers have produced classical Persian design types for decades, and the Afghan Sultanabad is valued for its dense construction and durable wool quality.
The dark cerulean blue ground at 8 ft 11 in x 12 ft 6 in is commanding and room-defining. A navy ground Sultanabad at this scale is an unusual piece. The curvilinear floral pattern is bold and confident, knotted at 81 knots per square inch in wool on cotton. The dark field pairs with cream, ivory and warm neutral tones.
In your home: For large formal sitting rooms and dining rooms. The navy ground suits classic, colonial and contemporary interiors equally.
