A symphony of floral geometry unfolds across this antique Persian Mahal rug (10.5 × 13 ft), its field alive with a rhythmic scatter of palmettes, rosettes, and stylized buds arranged in an informal yet harmonized allover design. The saturated madder red ground sets the stage for an intricate dance of navy, camel, ivory, and soft green hues, offering both visual richness and grounded elegance.
Woven in the early 20th century, this village-made piece exhibits the hallmark traits of antique Mahal rugs: generous proportions, soft wool pile, and a slightly coarse weave that enhances its rustic charm. The dark indigo border with floral meanders gives the piece a strong, balanced frame — lending the design a sense of quiet containment.
