Traditional Antique-Inspired Sultanabad Light Gray With Slate Handmade Wool Carpet “Eggplant” N10661 8'10" × 12'2" $18,000

Softly distressed Sultanabad florals and a pale, antique-washed ground give Eggplant a quietly layered presence. The room-size composition pairs a faint central-medallion suggestion with a strong border hierarchy, so the rug reads as structured yet airy—ideal for interiors that want traditional pattern without visual weight. Its decorative rhythm feels collected rather than ornate.

Light gray and slate tones dominate the field, while deeper charcoal accents trace the floral, foliate, and crest motifs along the border and within the allover design. The low-contrast palette softens the pattern, allowing this traditional rug to bridge formal and contemporary rooms with ease, and to sit comfortably beneath wood, stone, or upholstered furnishings.

Hand-knotted in wool, the surface has a supple, grounded hand that complements the intentionally faded look. Eggplant brings a room-friendly take on the Sultanabad-inspired carpet, offering enough detail to anchor seating areas, dining rooms, or layered modern interiors with a relaxed, decorative rhythm, while its weathered finish keeps the composition light and adaptable.
