Afghan Sultani Hand-Knotted Wool Rug - 126 x 77 cm
Afghan Sultani Hand-Knotted Wool Rug - 126 x 77 cm
One-of-a-kind hand-knotted piece
No two are alike - each rug carries its own pattern, colour balance and handmade character
Branching stems and expressive palmettes unfold across the warm bronze field of this Afghan Sultani rug. Red, ivory, pale blue, green and ochre details bring each botanical form to life, while smaller blossoms fill the open ground with a delicate, unhurried rhythm. An ivory border of alternating flowers and curved leaves gives the composition a graceful final frame.
Hand-knotted in Afghanistan from pure wool pile, the rug reflects the intricate botanical patternwork associated with the Sultani design tradition. Its compact proportions concentrate the colour and ornament into a richly detailed one-of-a-kind piece with warmth, balance and distinctive handmade character.

Care & Maintenance
- Hand-knotted wool rugs are made to last with the right care. Vacuum gently using a suction-only setting, rotate the rug occasionally for even wear, and blot any marks promptly with a clean cloth rather than rubbing.
- For deeper cleaning, professional rug cleaning is recommended to help protect the wool fibres, natural dyes and hand-knotted structure of the rug.
Note
- Each rug is professionally photographed to represent its colours as accurately as possible, while natural light, pile direction and digital display settings may create subtle variations in tone.
- Where additional colour is required, the wool in our hand-knotted rugs is coloured exclusively with vegetable dyes, complementing the fibre’s natural tonal variation and the individual character of the weave.
- Over time, vegetable-dyed handmade rugs may gently soften in tone, adding to the natural ageing and textile character that makes each piece unique.
