Sultanabad rugs are renowned for their exceptional beauty, recognized as some of the finest rugs in the world. Originating from the city formerly known as Arak, established in the early 1800s, they represent a relatively recent addition to the realm of oriental rug design. By the late nineteenth century, it produced designs meant to appeal to Western tastes. The classical designs of Sultanabad rugs draw inspiration from those of Heriz or Serapi. This one is more similar to a Serapi but with a unique use of motifs and color.

The jewel-tone reds contrast with soft blues, browns, pinks, and citrus. The ivory background creates contrast and allows the bold design to stand out. This rug uses the tulip motif along with peony or lotus designs and a delightful collection of other floral elements. Many of these floral elements have a special meaning. For instance, the tulip is a sign of prosperity or could be used to announce the birth of a male child. The lotus is a symbol of rebirth or immortality, and the peony stands for power.

This rug bears a striking resemblance to Serapi rugs, particularly in its abstract interpretation of floral motifs. Noteworthy for its size, scale, and captivating color palette, this rug promises to be a standout addition, sparking conversation wherever it’s placed. Ideal for traditional rooms, it also serves as a compelling contrast when paired with contemporary furniture.
