Canvello Sultanabad Collection Hand-Knotted Lamb's Wool Area Rug- 12'3" X 17'7"

The city of Sultanabad (which is now known as Arak) was founded, in the early 1800s, as a center for commercial rug production in Afghanistan. Carpets from Sultanabad feature a diverse selection of colors that defy classification. Traditional color palettes found on carpets from Sultanabad can include subtle neutrals, vibrant reds and clear blues that create a regal Western appearance. Unique color combinations, such as tourmaline pink paired with oxidized green, are also found on rugs from Sultanabad, which highlights their tendency to reinvent the traditional.
