About the Item
76378 Vintage Persian Mahal Rug, 10'08 x 14'00. Steeped in the poetry of Persian artistry, this vintage Persian Mahal rug captures the soul of Mahal weaving—an ode to balance, movement, and grace. Hand-knotted from lustrous wool, this vintage Persian Mahal rug is more than a floor covering; it is an heirloom tableau of cultural prestige. Its architecture of symmetry and flow speaks to an era when beauty was not merely seen, but experienced—when every knot was an expression of devotion and status. Designed to anchor grand interiors, it envelops a space with a sense of history and understated opulence.
At its heart lies a cusped medallion, a celestial motif echoing the geometry of paradise gardens. From this tranquil center unfurls a mesmerizing dance of palmettes, sickle leaves, and stylized blossoms, each rendered with a painter’s hand and a scholar’s precision. The arabesque vines entwine like living poetry, guiding the eye through a labyrinth of timeless elegance. This rhythmic flow of pattern and proportion reflects the enduring genius of Persian design—a legacy woven into every precious strand.
Framing the exclusive composition, a Herati border of deep contrast lends both gravitas and harmony, enclosing the floral symphony within its regal embrace. Carnation meander guard bands add refinement, their subtle undulations evoking continuity and grace. Together, they achieve what only the finest Persian rugs can: a seamless fusion of complexity and calm. The overall effect is one of architectural beauty softened by natural lyricism—a visual balance that feels both grand and intimate.
This exquisite work of art stands as a testament to cultivated taste and cultural heritage. Its enduring elegance transcends time and trend, embodying the essence of refinement sought by collectors and aesthetes alike. To own such an extraordinary masterpiece is to inherit a fragment of Persian history—one that continues to whisper stories of artistry, devotion, and the pursuit of beauty through the ages.
Rendered in variegated shades of rust, camel, brown, burnt orange, umber, terra cotta, teal, robin's egg blue, baby blue, veridian, ink blue, navy blue, taupe, tan, ecru, sand, coffee, and beige with other accent colors.
