A masterwork of antique Persian craftsmanship, this Mahal rug (10.8 × 13.9 ft) exudes warmth and classical balance. Its richly layered field is arranged in a tightly organized allover latticework of stylized palmettes, rosettes, and delicate floral sprays each carefully rendered in a soft, time-worn palette. The brick-red ground anchors the composition, while sapphire, ivory, moss green, and faded rose tones echo the natural dyes used in its creation.
A deep midnight blue border filled with scrolling floral motifs frames the design with poise, offering contrast and refinement. The abrash (natural tone variation) speaks to the rug’s age and hand-dyed wool, adding depth and authenticity to its appearance.
