12x16 Antique Persian Sultanabad Area Rug in Dallas DFW TX

Typical flooring materials don't always work well in these spacious rooms. A rare authentic masterpiece of floor art creates an instant focal point and adds rich history and warmth to the living space.

12x16 Antique Persian Sultanabad Area Rug 108787 Dallas DFW TX is the pinnacle of the craftsmanship of the 19th-century textiles. It is a truly outstanding piece of jewelry that is available only at Rencollection, which takes a luxury interior to great heights. We take a look at the history of Sultanabad weaving, the distinctive characteristics of item 108787, and some tips for styling for North Texas homes.

The Sultanabad's Rich Heritage of Weaving

In the late 1800s, the city of Sultanabad (now Arak) was the center of the weaving industry in Persia. There was a growing demand in Europe and America for luxury textiles, which were in demand internationally. So, the large trading houses set up organized weaving workshops throughout the region in the late 1800s.

Traditional Persian motifs were adapted to meet Western interior layouts by local master weavers. They expanded on the traditional patterns and toned down the bold color schemes. Sultanabad craftsmen used simple, free, flowing designs inspired by plants, rather than densely packed medallions. These elegant design features caught the attention of many grand manors in North America and Europe, making Sultanabad the top choice among them.

Factual items from the genuine nineteenth-century Sultanabad can now be found very seldom. Well-preserved examples are being competed for by collectors and the top interior designers from all over the world. For complete information on the Vintage Rug Buying Guide, read our full guide.

Styling a 12x16 Masterpiece in Dallas DFW Homes

Open floor plans, expansive entryways, and high ceilings are common elements in North Texas homes. Large room layouts nest big 12x16 pieces naturally and provide room structure warmth.

Formal Living Rooms

Formal Living Rooms are anchored by a large-scale, textured, and luxurious upholstery. Under your main seating area is this piece of 12x16. Make sure that the front and back legs of sofas and armchairs are resting on the fabric. Widely woven borders frame your furniture and create a comfy speaking nook. Check out our design guide to Using Rugs to Define Zones to find out how to use open spaces in your design.

Raising the Standard of Grand Dining Rooms

There is a need to have a large floor area for formal dining halls. A 12'x 16' will provide a comfortable dining table for 12 people. Pull-back dining chairs without getting the legs of your chair on the outer edges of the dining room.

Softening Transitional Interiors

The muted Sultanabad hues create a balance between the historic architecture and contemporary furnishings. Complement with stylish and modern sofas or elegant antiques.

Essential Foundation Care: High-Grade Underlayment Pads

When a rare antique is directly placed on hardwood, stone, or tile, friction wear occurs under it without being noticed by the user. Every day, people walk over fine wool knots, which rub against hard subfloors. In addition, low-grade plastic pads emit toxins that will permanently stain white oak and marble.

Underlayment pad for item 108787 must be custom cut and be of high grade.

Felt and Natural Rubber Hybrid Pads: Dense felt is used to cushion footsteps, and natural rubber is used to secure it to the subfloor.

Non-Staining Floor Protection: Natural materials help to stop the migration of plasticizers and protect costly floor finishes; therefore, they are non-staining floor protection.

Support, Maintenance, and Professional Preservation

Smart home care habits and expert home preservation services are required to preserve an authentic nineteenth-century Sultanabad.

Everyday Home Care Guidelines

Vacuum with Suction Only: Vacuum using a rotating beater bar vacuum cleaner with the rotating beater bars turned off to clean using a vacuum cleaner with only the suction power. Delicate antique wool wears out, and selvage threads become loose by using harsh bristles.

Turn Textile Every Year: Turn your piece of textile 180 degrees every year. This practice evens out foot traffic and exposure to Texas sunlight.

Immediate Spill Procedure: Promptly mop up spills of liquids using a clean white towel. Avoid scrubbing; wool fibers will be damaged, and dirt will be spread by wet fibers. Learn how to clean handmade rugs step-by-step in our How to Clean Handmade Rugs Without Damage guide.

Professional Cold Water Washing System

Normal household steam cleaning machines will employ high temperatures and chemicals, which damage the antique wool. Always use a special cold water immersion wash in a controlled wash facility.
