Handmade Reproduction Rug

Sultanabad Design, Hand-Knotted Wool

This rug is part of our collection of handmade reproduction rugs, inspired by classic Sultanabad designs and crafted using traditional hand-knotting techniques.  This rug is a 100% handmade rug, carefully crafted using traditional hand-knotting techniques. It is a modern reproduction rug inspired by the bold design and balanced layout of an antique Sultanabad rug from the late 1800s. Because the rug is newly made, it offers the visual strength of historic Persian design with the durability and reliability expected from a contemporary handmade rug.

As a result, this rug provides the beauty of an antique without the fragility or special care requirements. In addition, skilled artisans use fine wool that feels soft and silk-like underfoot. Therefore, the rug works well in both formal interiors and everyday living spaces.

Design and Pattern

Sultanabad designs are known for large-scale floral motifs and open spacing. In this rug, the pattern feels bold, clear, and well balanced. Instead of crowded details, the design allows each element to stand out.

Because of this structure, the rug creates a strong focal point without overwhelming the room. Moreover, the spacing allows furniture to sit naturally on the rug. As a result, it works especially well in living rooms, dining rooms, and large open spaces.

Color Palette

The color palette reflects traditional Persian tones, including warm neutrals and softly aged accents. These colors add depth while remaining easy to match with a wide range of interiors.

Because the tones are balanced and timeless, the rug pairs well with both classic and modern décor. In addition, the colors avoid short-term trends, which helps the rug remain visually relevant for many years.

Material and Construction

Unlike machine-made options, handmade reproduction rugs offer depth, durability, and long-term value.  This is a 100% handmade rug, woven entirely by hand using time-honored techniques. Skilled artisans knot each piece carefully to ensure strength and consistency.

As a result, the wool feels resilient yet comfortable underfoot. At the same time, the tight knotting helps the rug maintain its structure and clarity over time, even in active areas of the home.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular care helps this handmade rug look its best. Vacuum gently using a low setting and avoid beater bars. Also, rotate the rug occasionally to promote even wear.
