{"product_id":"handmade-afghan-sultanabad-in-blue","title":"Handmade Afghan Sultanabad in Blue","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis stunning blue ground Sultanabad Rug is hand knotted in Afghanistan with pure wool pile. It has a flourishing floral filled field with characteristic flowerheads. It's design is inspired by a type of Persian carpet woven in Sultanabad in Persia (now named Arak) towards the end of the Nineteenth century. The all-over floral tones have great visual impact combined with the use of modern cheerful colours to add a unique aesthetic to homes today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the Design Characteristics of Sultananbad Carpets?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal Sultanabad carpets are now antique but their floral designs are recognisable and are still used and enjoyed today in these modern weavings. Similar design vocabulary can be seen in this rug with sophisicated florals synonymous with Sultanabad carpets; the oversized palmettes and flowerheads, a floral border, rosettes, secondary blossoms as well as floral sprays. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the Colour Combinations of this Rug?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than the muted patina antique rugs this piece has a vibrancy of tone with handspun wool dyed with natural vegetable dyes. It's main field is a delightful sky blue with minor borders in cheerful red and yellow hues. Secondary colours include accents of lush greens, golden yellows, pink corals and light creams. There is a multitude of combinations of floral motifs within the main field and border but still with a sense of harmony and classicism. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Details \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of Origin: Afghanistan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 198 x 155cm \/ 6'6\" x 5'1\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness: 7mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarp: Cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge: New\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Oriental Rug Merchant Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58081569309003,"sku":"TORM-1162-HANDMADE AFGHAN SULTANABAD IN BLUE-198 X 155CM","price":929.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1070\/3113\/4539\/files\/Sultanabad-blue-1.98x1.55m-MAIN.jpg?v=1786283021","url":"https:\/\/theorientalrugmerchant.co.uk\/products\/handmade-afghan-sultanabad-in-blue","provider":"The Oriental Rug Merchant Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
