This antique Persian Mahal rug (10.8 × 13.1 ft) showcases a regal and elaborate allover pattern, reflecting the richness and artistic spirit of early 20th-century Persian village weaving. The deeply saturated brick-red field bursts with stylized floral rosettes, palmettes, and leafy tendrils arranged in a finely balanced, symmetrical layout. A navy border densely filled with floral sprays offers bold contrast and a refined frame to the central field.
Woven with time-softened wool and natural vegetable dyes, this piece carries a lovely abrash that adds movement and authenticity to its surface. The motifs especially the occasional abstract animal figures imbue the rug with whimsical charm and folkloric appeal, making it both a decorative statement and a collector's item.
