8×12 Dark Gray Persian Rug – Sultanabadi Design
A dark gray palette gives this Sultanabadi-inspired rug a quietly dramatic presence. Shah Abbasi flowers and curving vines soften its depth with graceful floral detail, creating a richly patterned foundation for a thoughtfully furnished room. Pair it with pale upholstery for striking contrast or warm wood for a more intimate setting.

Quality & Craftsmanship
Ghazni hand-spun wool brings tactile character to the pile, with natural variations in the yarn lending depth to its surface. Individually hand-knotted at 82 knots per square inch on a cotton foundation, the rug balances decorative detail with a stable structure. The wool’s natural resilience supports regular use, while proper care helps preserve its texture and appearance.
Origin & Tradition
Hand-knotted in Maymana, Afghanistan, this rug interprets Persian Sultanabadi design through Afghan craftsmanship. Its botanical ornament carries the character of traditional floral carpets into a restrained gray palette, giving a classical composition a place in contemporary interiors.
