Lush with floral grandeur and saturated color, this antique Mahal rug from Persia (10.6 × 14.8 ft) is a testament to the elegance of village weaving traditions. At its center blooms a delicate rosette medallion set against a warm brick-red field teeming with vinescrolls, palmettes, and stylized floral sprays. The geometric corner spandrels are subtly softened by curved motifs, creating a harmonious balance between structure and flourish.
The border—anchored by a deep navy band—features alternating rosettes and serrated leaves, which frame the field like a blooming garden hedge. The saturated tones of coral, ivory, teal, and faded indigo offer rich contrast while showcasing the natural vegetable dyes that have matured beautifully with age.
