The Sultanabad design takes its name from a commercial carpet weaving tradition in western Iran, but runner format pieces in this style are produced widely in Afghanistan. The curvilinear floral pattern translates well to a runner format, maintaining visual interest across the full length without becoming overwhelming in a narrow space.
The black ground of this runner at 2 ft 6 in x 9 ft 10 in is bold and dramatic. Black ground runners are uncommon and give a hallway or corridor a confident, architectural quality. The curvilinear floral pattern appears to float against the dark field. Knotted at 100 knots per square inch in wool on cotton.
In your home: Works in hallways, corridors, alongside beds and in any narrow space that benefits from warmth underfoot. The black ground pairs with cream walls, natural timber and contemporary as well as classic interiors.
