A bold presence wrapped in timeless tradition, this antique Persian Mahal rug (10.2 × 13.6 ft) embodies the best of village craftsmanship with a richly layered, symmetrical field. Woven circa 1920s –1930s, its design reveals a grand geometric medallion pattern anchored by regal floral motifs and stylized vines, all enclosed within elongated corner spandrels. The crimson red ground glows with warmth, while soft teal, navy, ivory, and tan tones create a complex and inviting palette.
The border, adorned with scrolling rosettes and angular leaves, adds a rhythmic contrast to the more organic feel of the central field, a signature of early 20th-century Mahal artistry. Woven entirely in wool, this piece brings heritage, charm, and sophistication to any well-appointed space.
