Antique Palace Size Persian Mahal Rug

About the Item

Palace size grand antique Persian Mahal, circa 1900. A highly sought after all over herati pattern in a rich array of colors. This rug has been expertly altered from its original design that featured a large central medallion. The medallion was removed knot by knot and the original threads were used to reweave a continuation of the herati pattern. Vintage rugs are made by hand over the course of months, sometimes years. Their imperfections and wear are evidence of the hard working human hands that made them and the generations of families that used them. Character marks may include repairs, low pile, asymmetry. More often than not, rugs are not perfectly straight. Please see all photos before purchasing. Color may appear different in a dark room or from screen to screen. We do our best to photograph the entire rug from all angles but if you would like additional photos, please do not hesitate to ask. Video may help as well and we are happy to provide. Rugs are washed prior to being photographed.
