About the Item
This refined vintage Mahal rug is a classic example of early twentieth century Persian weaving, distinguished by its richly ornamented allover floral design and harmonious color palette. The field is rendered in a warm brick red tone, densely filled with stylized botanical motifs, palmettes, and floral medallions that create a sense of depth, movement, and visual rhythm. These motifs are carefully balanced and symmetrically arranged, reflecting the sophisticated design traditions of the Mahal weaving region.
The rug is framed by a wide ivory border that provides contrast and elegance, adorned with intricate floral elements and repeating motifs that echo the interior field. Accents of indigo, soft blue, teal, muted pink, and earthy neutrals enhance the overall composition, giving the piece both richness and versatility.
Hand knotted in wool on a cotton foundation, this Mahal rug was crafted for durability as well as beauty. The wool pile has developed a soft, mellow patina over time, adding warmth and character while maintaining excellent structural integrity. The scale and balanced design make this rug suitable for a wide range of interiors, from classic and traditional spaces to layered, transitional environments.
This piece embodies the timeless craftsmanship and artistic refinement that have made Mahal rugs highly sought after by collectors, designers, and connoisseurs of antique textiles.
