About the Item
79402 Antique Persian Mahal Rug, 11'03 x 17'09. This exceptional hand knotted wool antique Persian Mahal rug represents the height of workshop refinement, where disciplined artistry and ornamental ambition converge. Mahal weavings were created for an elite audience—grand homes that demanded both scale and sophistication—and this exquisite work of art reflects that legacy in every measured detail. The composition is expansive yet controlled, designed not merely to decorate a room, but to establish authority, taste, and cultivated permanence.
The sumptuous red field unfolds as a continuous botanical landscape, composed of interlaced palmettes, scrolling vinery, and stylized floral rosettes arranged in a meticulously balanced allover pattern. The exclusive design favors repetition and rhythm, allowing the eye to travel effortlessly across the surface. This approach creates a sense of abundance without excess—a hallmark of Mahal aesthetics and a quiet signal of aristocratic restraint.
Framing the interior, a commanding border anchors the composition with architectural clarity. Its layered structure reinforces symmetry and proportion, while repeating botanical motifs echo those within the field, creating cohesion and visual depth. The borders act as a ceremonial threshold, enclosing the garden-like interior and lending the rug a sense of order, gravitas, and intentional design.
What elevates this extraordinary masterpiece into the realm of collectible luxury is its synthesis of scale, precision, and heritage. This is not a decorative accent, but a statement of cultivated living—an heirloom of cultural significance that speaks to connoisseurs who value history, mastery, and enduring elegance. Ideal for refined interiors and distinguished collections, this antique Mahal offers an experience rooted in prestige, tradition, and timeless Persian artistry.
