A masterwork of subtlety and refinement, this antique Mahal rug from Persia (9.11 × 12.8 ft) is a testament to understated beauty. Hand-knotted circa 1920, the piece features a delicate ivory field layered with a finely spaced garden of stylized rosettes, leafy vines, and intricate cartouche motifs. The gentle abrashed palette ranging from pale sand and faded aqua to touches of olive and ink gives the rug an ethereal, almost watercolor-like presence.
Its overall pattern is calm yet complex, creating a soft rhythm that draws the eye across the generous expanse. The wide border, rendered in matching tones with floral emblems and meandering vines, frames the central field gracefully. This rug's age-worn pile only enhances its quiet charm, making it a perfect fit for sophisticated, light-filled interiors.
