Desert Bloom — Antique Mahal Runner from Persia (4.2 × 8 ft)

With its broad floral motifs and earthy elegance, this antique Persian Mahal runner (4.2 × 8 ft) evokes the sun-faded beauty of a desert garden in full bloom. The design features stylized palmettes and sweeping floral sprays, rendered in a soft, sandy beige and faded terracotta against a muted olive-gray field. The light-toned border, intricately adorned with angular rosettes, frames the composition with balance and subtle refinement.

The palette and scale of the motifs give this runner a bold yet grounded presence, perfect for hallways, entryways, or under a console. Woven around 1900, it carries a noble patina and all the charm of early 20th-century Persian craftsmanship.
