Hand made rugs often take up to two or more years to complete. These are 100% hand made with no two rugs exactly alike reflecting the rug maker's individual preferences and craftsmanship.
Persian Sultanabad rugs were exclusively made for the European market since mid 19_th century. They often favored bold floral designs with spacious patterned Rugs. All rugs and carpets from this period were exclusively made with pure natural dyes. Dark red, blue, soft green, gold, and ivory are the typical colors. Warps, foundation, and wefts are cotton. The pile is wool. The wool of the Sultanabad rugs is hand spun usually from the weaver's own sheep. The rugs are woven using asymmetrical Turkish knots to tie each loop one by one. Besides using wide and bold borders, Sultanabad rugs had designs are based on small repeating floral patterns as well as all-over large scale lattice vine patterns. Sultanabad rug designers simplified the designs by creating a special work of art with unique character. Foreign companies around the world from India and Pakistan adopted a similar system, causing Sultanabad carpets to become carpets of high decorative value, even today by both interior designers and the discriminating collector. Sultanabads have great value in any condition, often favored for their bold floral designs with spacious patterns.
