古老的苏丹纳巴达是众多以编织为生的乡村的中心。19世纪末，美国、德国和英国的公司纷纷在此建立了自己的工厂，其中很多地毯出口到海外，尤其是采用高堆技法编织的地毯在美国非常流行。到20世纪30年代，政府接管了这些工厂，并由最初的贸易工坊发展为机器工厂。近来市面上出现的优质的苏丹纳巴达地毯大都尺幅巨大，一般都在25平方米以上。苏丹纳巴达的古地毯多由专家或专业的经销商提供，有时也在拍卖会上露面。
这条苏丹纳巴达地毯图案古朴庄重，喜庆的红色背景非常符合中国人的心理特质，由于选用了植物性染料，毯面历经一个半世纪依然色彩鲜亮。适合于室内铺设。
The old Sultanabad lies at the centre of many villages and settlements in which life revolves around the loom. In the late 19th century, American, German and English firms set up their own factories. A high proportion of the carpets were exported. This is especially true of the high-piled Saruqs which became highly popular in America. These early pieces, which were still of high quality, were made during the period of the export bloom. By the 1930s, the period when Persian companies took over these manufactories, they had developed from the original trade workshops into industrially organized rationally working factories and such they have remained until the present day. Recent manufacture brings onto the market good to very good standard qualities in all usual formats up to 25 sq/m(270sq/ft) and larger. Old and antique Araks are offered under the old name of Sultanabad by the specialist dealers and they are occasionally also found at auction
