About the Item

This Mid-20th century Persian Mahal rug, measuring 1' 5" x 1' 8", presents a charming and intimate example of the artistry for which Mahal weavers are known. Its field is designed with a distinctive pictorial composition, featuring a stylized bird perched amidst flowering branches, an uncommon motif that adds a whimsical yet symbolic dimension to the piece. Rendered in earthy tones of ivory, soft greens, and muted reds, the design conveys a pastoral sense of harmony, often associated with themes of fertility, abundance, and the natural world. The floral details are geometric yet lively, echoing the Mahal tradition of combining tribal spontaneity with village weaving finesse. A complementary border frames the central scene with repeating floral rosettes on a contrasting ground, lending balance and structure to the overall composition. This rug exemplifies the unique character and folk-inspired charm of smaller village pieces, treasured as both decorative art and functional textile.
