About the Item
72575 Antique Persian Mahal Rug, 08'06 x 12'02. Graceful, grounded, and rich in heritage, this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Mahal rug is a breathtaking testament to the artistry of 19th-century Persia. Its sandy-beige field unfolds like a cultivated garden—an intricate tapestry of palmettes, serrated leaves, and flowering rosettes that seem to bloom in perpetual rhythm. Each motif reveals the deft hand of a master weaver, transforming botanical geometry into poetry in wool. The palette of clay, beige, indigo, and muted sage captures the warmth of sunlit Persian courtyards, infusing interiors with an aura of understated grandeur.
The allure of this exquisite work of art lies in its balance of symmetry and spontaneity. Its all-over botanical pattern, anchored by amorphous medallions and stylized tendrils, evokes both nature’s abundance and the disciplined elegance of exclusive Persian design. The pattern moves with a quiet pulse, where every palmette and curling vine contributes to a grand visual symphony. Time has softened its hues, lending the piece a patina that speaks of history, refinement, and authenticity—a quality that modern reproductions can only imitate.
Framed by a classic Samovar turtle vine scroll border, the composition is both regal and inviting, its rhythmic continuity drawing the eye inward. The interplay of warm terra cottas against cooler blues creates visual depth, mirroring the duality of Persian artistry—earthly yet transcendent, decorative yet symbolic. Each sumptuous border, each guard band, each delicate transition reveals the care and intentionality of its creation, resulting in a work that feels both timeless and deeply personal.
This antique Persian Mahal rug is more than a floor covering—it is an heirloom of cultural prestige. Ideal for refined spaces that value heritage and authenticity, it brings an atmosphere of cultivated taste to any room. To own such a piece is to possess not merely a work of art, but a legacy—woven by hand, preserved by time, and destined for only the most discerning collector.
Rendered in variegated shades of ecru, terra cotta, navy blue, sand, burnt orange, greige, taupe, royal blue, baked clay, gray, almond, glaucous, rose, and coffee with other accent colors.
