Their balance of ornamental pattern and relaxed palette makes them easy to work into almost any design plan. 

The History of Sultanabad Rugs 

Sultanabad carpets come from Arak, a weaving center in west-central Iran. By the late 1800s, the region’s artisans began creating rugs specifically for Western markets, adapting Persian design principles to suit larger, open floor plans. The result was a rug with all the richness of Persian tradition, but with simplified layouts and lighter tones that resonated with European and American tastes. 

Although they were crafted in Iran, the weaving techniques and materials used in some traditional Indian rugs influenced the style’s evolution. As production expanded and global demand increased, the Sultanabad style became a standout example of East-meets-West design in the rug world.
