Burgundy Red Medallion Persian Rug · 1200 Reeds · 3M Points

Heritage & inspiration

Sultanabad-Mahal weaving turned commercial in 1875 when Ziegler & Co. set up workshops in Arak, weaving directly for Western dealers. The Ziegler Sultanabad burgundy-ground became a Victorian and Edwardian standard — the rug you'd see in a substantial London or East Coast drawing room. Open-field medallion, generous spacing, simpler borders than court-formal Kashan or Tabriz. The burgundy ground reads warmer and less ceremonial than late-Qajar court burgundy.

Distinct from the cohort's late-Qajar court register (used as our Burgundy anchor's editorial frame). Where Qajar reads library, study, low-light formal, Sultanabad export-quality reads drawing-room, daylight-tolerant, generously-proportioned.

How it feels underfoot

1200 Reeds (1200 شانه) on premium cotton warp; density over 3,000,000 knots/m² (تراکم). Engineered consistency.

Designer styling notes

• Wood: mahogany, walnut, English oak — substantial traditional casegoods
• Upholstery: ivory damask, dusty-rose silk, mushroom mohair — the burgundy reads warmer with lighter upholstery, more formal with darker
• Metal: aged brass, antique gold, dark bronze
• Rooms: drawing rooms, formal living rooms, dining rooms with rectangular tables, libraries with daylight access

Best for · skip if

Best for: larger formal-relaxed rooms with traditional bones — the Sultanabad register flatters Victorian, Edwardian, Craftsman, and Mediterranean Sacramento homes equally.

Skip if the brief is court library (use the late-Qajar register in the cohort's burgundy anchor) or small intimate space (under 6.5×10 this design compresses).

This piece sits in the easy-care performance family — high-density polypropylene or polyester pile on a cotton foundation, precision machine-woven for sharp pattern definition with hand-finished edges. The construction is purpose-built for family-friendly living: stain-resistant, fade-resistant, low-maintenance, and forgiving of regular vacuuming and spot cleaning.

Patterns are inspired by Persian, Kashan, Tabriz, and Turkmen design vocabularies — reinterpreted in a soft synthetic blend that performs in high-traffic rooms without the maintenance commitment of a hand-knotted wool piece.

A rug should run 18–24 inches past the sofa on each side. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one — an undersized rug is the most common mistake we see.

• Vacuum weekly with the beater bar off to protect the pile
• Blot spills immediately with a clean white cloth (don't rub)
• Rotate the rug 180° every 6 months for even wear
• Professional clean every 18–24 months
• No rug pad needed — the cotton backing and the rug's weight keep it flat; a small rug that shifts can use adhesive grippers or corner holders
