This elegant handwoven Sultanabad rug (Code SA586) showcases a cream background framed by a soft blue border, creating one of the most universally admired Persian color combinations — serene, bright, and harmonious.
The ten-and-a-half-square-meter format is thoughtfully proportioned to fit twelve-square-meter rooms, providing full visual coverage while allowing better spatial balance and flow. Choosing a slightly smaller rug not only enhances the sense of space but also offers a more affordable option without compromising on elegance or proportion.
The Sultanabad design carries deep historical roots in Persian weaving. Its global recognition began in the late nineteenth century when the renowned Ziegler & Co., a British firm, established workshops in Sultanabad (modern-day Arak, Iran).
Ziegler collaborated with local Persian artisans to create rugs with softer palettes and balanced floral patterns, tailored to European tastes.
This collaboration gave birth to what became known as Ziegler Sultanabad rugs, which quickly gained immense popularity in Europe and the United States and remain a cornerstone of Persian rug design today.
In this piece, the natural cream field brings light and calmness, while the blue border introduces depth and contrast — a combination that complements both traditional and modern interiors.
Naturally dyed with vegetable-based colors, the rug maintains its purity and color stability over time.
The Sultanabad SA586 is more than a rug — it’s a continuation of the Ziegler legacy, uniting the refinement of Persian craftsmanship with timeless global elegance.
