Sultanabad

Sultanabad rugs showcase Persian craftsmanship with intricate designs and vibrant colors. Originating from Iran's Sultanabad region, they feature unique patterns, often floral and geometric, reflecting a rich cultural heritage.

Crafted by skilled artisans from high-quality wool, sometimes blended with silk, these durable rugs add warmth and elegance to any space, enhancing both traditional and contemporary decor.

Sultanabad rugs originate from the Arak region of central Persia, and the name is almost synonymous with the most sought-after category within the type: the antique Ziegler Sultanabad. Commissioned by the Manchester trading firm Ziegler & Co. in the 1880s for the Western market, Ziegler Sultanabads feature spacious, loosely drawn all-over designs and a palette of muted camels, dusty roses, soft blues, and faded greens that sits perfectly in both traditional and contemporary rooms.

This decorative versatility and generous scale has made antique Sultanabad rugs among the most in-demand carpets among interior designers worldwide. Beyond the Ziegler commissions, the Sultanabad region produced a range of decorative village and workshop carpets with similar all-over patterning and soft color. All are hand-knotted in resilient wool, built for decades of daily use while only improving in appearance with age and traffic.

At First Rugs, our Sultanabad collection is selected for scale, palette, and the relaxed grandeur that makes these carpets uniquely suited to layered, designer interiors.
