78520 Antique Persian Mahal Rug with Sultanabad Design, 14'02 x 17'06. Sapphire Majesty: An Early 20th Century Persian Mahal Masterwork of Aristocratic Refinement Steeped in the grandeur of Persian weaving tradition, this Early 20th Century hand-knotted wool Mahal rug embodies the aristocratic spirit of the great Sultanabad workshops. Its composition—anchored by the legendary Mustafavi pattern—reveals a mesmerizing harmony between geometry and organic flourish. The sapphire ground, softened through graceful abrash, evokes the opulent depth of lapis lazuli, while the rhythmic tracery of vine scrolls and palmettes unfurls across its surface like poetry in motion. Each motif, meticulously balanced, reflects the refinement and precision of a master weaver’s vision—a creation destined for palatial interiors and discerning collectors. In this resplendent textile, pattern and palette dance in perfect accord. Lively shades of ruby, emerald, and amber are tempered by aged ivory and indigo, their interplay lending the composition an almost musical cadence. The iconic Mustafavi lattice—defined by its angular tendrils and stylized floral clusters—embodies both structure and spontaneity, recalling the garden aesthetics of classical Persian art where nature was not merely depicted, but idealized. This motif, celebrated among connoisseurs for its grace and complexity, transforms this exquisite work of art into an object of cultivated luxury—a living testament to a golden age of weaving. The sumptuous border, resplendent with rosettes and vine scrolls, acts as an architectural frame—containing the exuberance of the field while echoing its color harmony. This subtle balance between containment and expression mirrors the sophisticated aesthetic sensibilities of the Qajar and early Pahlavi periods, when Persian artistry found renewed dialogue with European decorative traditions. The result is a visual language of refinement and confidence—neither ostentatious nor restrained, but wholly timeless in its allure. More than an heirloom, this Persian Mahal is a statement of prestige and connoisseurship. Its exceptional craftsmanship, exceptional coloration, and exclusive design mark it as a treasure for the elite collector who values heritage as deeply as beauty. Whether gracing a grand salon or private study, this remarkable carpet elevates its surroundings into a realm of cultivated opulence—where history, art, and rare distinctiveness are woven seamlessly into one transcendent masterpiece.

Sarouk is a name of a village situated about 25 miles north of Arak (Sultanabad). This region became one of the most active regions of carpet weaving in the late 19th century through the early 20th century. The city's most famous designer was named Farahan. To be able to compete with Kashan in rug commerce, Farahan designed rugs with center medallion motives. Today, these carpets are referred to as Antique 19th century Farahan Sarouks. In the 1920s and 1930s a well-known rug dealer in New York thought that Americans would buy rose-field carpets with blue borders and detached floral motives. During that period, a vast number of Sarouks with rose-fields and all over floral patterns were woven and exported to the American market. However, the natural dyed rose color did not stand up to the alkaline bath to which new rugs in Arak were subjected in the finishing process. The rose color faded radically. But instead of changing the finishing process or changing the composition of the dyes to stand up to alkali, New York merchants "solved" the problem by arming their staffs with synthetic dyes and little paint brushes with which they painted back in the rose-color in the entire fields of thousands and thousands of rugs and carpets over a period of 20 years.
