1950's Vintage Persian Mahal Carpet with Traditional Style

About the Item

79145 Vintage Persian Mahal Rug, 10'10 x 13'10. This hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Mahal rug is a brilliant showcase of traditional artistry and cultural symbolism. The allover pattern is composed of Mina Khani motifs, a celebrated design that features interconnected floral patterns arranged in a lattice-like framework. Each blossom represents growth, renewal, and the beauty of nature, while the vines weaving through them symbolize unity and the unbroken continuity of life. These motifs bring a sense of timeless elegance to the rug, making it a captivating addition to any interior. The vivid red field serves as a dynamic backdrop for the intricate Mina Khani design. The floral motifs, rendered in shades of teal, pink, and soft beige, create a harmonious interplay of color and form. This balance between bold and subtle tones accentuates the intricate craftsmanship of the piece, inviting the viewer to admire its delicate details. The design’s symmetry and rhythm lend the Mahal rug a tranquil, almost meditative quality, reflecting the artistry of its weavers. Framing this exquisite field is a classic Persian border on a deep brown ground, adorned with a series of floral and serrated leaves. The border’s bold, angular motifs contrast beautifully with the rounded forms of the central pattern, adding depth and complexity to the composition. Flanking this main border are double inner and outer meander guard bands, which enhance the structure and balance of the Mahal rug. These guard bands not only provide a sense of completeness but also showcase the meticulous attention to detail characteristic of Persian rugs. With its richly decorative design and cultural significance, this vintage Mahal rug embodies a perfect blend of artistry and history. Its vibrant palette and intricate motifs reflect the timeless charm of Persian craftsmanship, while its balanced composition makes it suitable for both traditional and modern interiors. Whether placed in a living room, dining area, or study, this woven wonder will infuse the space with warmth, sophistication, and a story of enduring beauty. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran.
