About the Item
This antique Persian Mahal rug, measuring 7′7″ × 12′, embodies the elegance and organic charm of early 20th-century village weaving from central Iran. Characterized by its finely detailed allover floral field and classic Herati motifs, the rug features a muted palette of faded brick red, cream, and soft charcoal with delicate undertones of pale blue and ochre. The composition is densely patterned yet harmonious, with scrolling vines, stylized palmettes, and rosettes arranged in a rhythmic, interconnected design.
Woven with hand-spun wool and natural vegetable dyes, this piece shows a beautiful distressed finish and abrash variation, adding to its timeworn patina and authenticity. The age-softened surface enhances its decorative appeal, lending warmth and history to interiors that appreciate understated elegance.
Mahal rugs are celebrated for their durability, approachable scale, and versatile design language—making them especially desirable for living rooms, libraries, or formal dining areas.
