{"product_id":"handmade-classic-sultani-rug","title":"Handmade Classic Sultani Rug","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis handknotted rug is artistanally woven in Afghanistan with pure wool that is handspun and dyed with natural vegetable dyes. It's a classic elegant design that is inspired by designs from the height of Persian classicism and the zenith of carpet weaving of floral complex designs from courtly carpets from the Safavid period (1501 - 1736). It was during this dynasty that famous floral designs with scrolling all-over floral fields became sought after. To this day this type of design vocabulary is still re-interpreted and used in contemporary carpets as enduring legacies of historical carpets.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eArtful Colour Combinations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe harmony of this all-over floral design of this rug is enhanced by the elegant colour combinations that are carefully selected. The main field colour is a versatile light sand beige \/ antique ivory and the palmettes and leaves are multicoloured; ranging from red, amber, gold, turquoise, brown, green and blue. The main field colour is naturally an easy-to-work-with hue for diverse schemes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetailing with Finesse\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen this handknotted piece was taken down from the loom the cotton warp threads (to which each invidual knot was tied to form the pattern and the pile) hang at either end. This is where further artisan detailing with finesse adds an additional feature where the cotton warp threads are knotted into a lattice format and then bound with individual colourful woolen yarns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStylish Classic Floral Designs in this Handmade Rug\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the classic design heritage of this handknotted rug there is a definite concept retaining the traditional but in a new carpet.
