This expansive antique Mahal rug from Persia (10.4 × 13.5 ft) radiates old-world charm with a saturated red field hosting a symphony of stylized floral rosettes and stepped medallions in deep blues, creams, and soft greens. Woven in the early 20th century (circa 1920s), its design celebrates the classic Persian garden layout—balanced, ordered, and endlessly intricate.
Despite areas of visible wear, the rug retains remarkable visual presence, its patina only adding to its storied character. A rich navy border filled with palmettes and vine scrolls lends grounded contrast and frames the rug with distinction.
The wool pile is soft and aged, yet still durable a testament to the enduring craftsmanship of Mahal weavers.
