12536 Fine Afghan Sultan Pile Rug 175x241cm (5.8½ x 7.11ft)

Stunning hand-knotted decorative Afghan Sultan pile rug from Afghanistan measuring approx 175x241cm (5.8½ x 7.11ft) - excluding any fringes - this is one of our favourites, it has the most unusual background colour and the design has motifs that are often found in old original Turkoman rugs. These very elegant and decorative handmade Afghan rugs are newly made and are hand-knotted using old traditional methods. They have been developed for their amazing out of the ordinary colours and feature either floral or geometric designs which lend themselves well to both modern and traditional homes alike.  “Sultan” refers to the design rather than the people that weave these hand knotted rugs and carpets.

These types of rugs are re-creations of antique Oriental designs and they use wonderful soft wools. They are 100% hand-woven by Afghan weavers with a hand spun wool pile - the wool used in these rugs is very good quality.  We are very particular about colours and designs when buying these fine rugs and only choose top quality pieces in unusual colours with superb wool.
