Mansion-Sized 21st Century Sultanabad Master 19×33 Light Blue Handmade Area Rug

Description

At 19 by 33 feet, this extraordinary mansion-sized Sultanabad Master carpet is one of the largest handmade rugs available anywhere in North America today — a piece conceived from the outset as an estate carpet, a room-defining work of woven art for the grand salon, ballroom, or great hall of a trophy home. Produced by Ashly Fine Rugs’ own master craftsmen working within the centuries-old Sultanabad tradition, every element of this carpet’s creation — the hand-spinning and dyeing of the wool, the setting of the loom, the weaving of each of its millions of individual knots — was executed with the same standards of care and artistic intention that governed the great palace carpets of the 19th century.

The ground is a luminous, pale seafoam blue — the color of Persian turquoise caught in morning light — achieved through traditional natural dyeing techniques and providing a canvas of breathtaking serenity upon which the all-over botanical field unfolds. Flowing vine scrolls, oversized palmettes of generous naturalistic form, and softly stylized leaf motifs are distributed across the field with the spacious, breathing elegance that defines the Sultanabad format at its grandest. New, unworn, and made to museum standards: when you require not just a beautiful rug but an architectural statement of the highest ambition, this is that piece.
