1960's Vintage Persian Mahal Carpet with Traditional Style

About the Item

61227 Vintage Persian Mahal Rug, 06'06 x 09'09. This exquisite hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Mahal rug captures the essence of timeless beauty with its allover pattern of Herati motifs, gracefully set against an abrashed red field. The delicate variations in the red hues, a result of the natural dyeing process, create a mesmerizing backdrop that adds depth and character to the rug. The Herati motifs, with their stylized flower centers encased within diamonds and flanked by gracefully curved leaves, are a testament to the sophistication and elegance that Persian craftsmanship is renowned for. The intricate Herati motifs evoke a sense of harmony and balance, as each motif seems to dance across the vibrant red field in a rhythmic pattern. This allover geometric design creates a visually captivating experience, drawing the eye to the intricacies of the floral elements and the skillful interplay of colors. The Herati motifs, thought to symbolize fish swimming beneath the surface of water in the reflection of a full moon, add a layer of cultural richness and mystical allure to this woven wonder, making it a piece that is both aesthetically pleasing and deeply meaningful. Framing this enchanting field is a striking Herati border that echoes the elegance of the central pattern. The border, flanked by inner and outer floral meander guard borders, provides a seamless transition from the intricate field to the edges of the rug, enhancing its overall design. The addition of sawtooth guard bands adds a dynamic element to the composition, creating a sense of movement and flow that guides the viewer's eye around the perimeter of the rug. This vintage Persian Mahal rug, with its rich color palette and intricate design, is a versatile addition to any interior space. Whether placed in a living room, dining area, or bedroom, it brings a sense of refined elegance and classic sophistication to the environment. The combination of the abrashed red field, the symbolic Herati motifs, and the beautifully framed borders creates a rug that is not only a visual delight but also a reflection of the enduring artistry and cultural heritage of Persian rug making. Rendered in variegated shades of red, blue, rose, navy blue, pink, tan, sky blue, beige, cerulean, mauve, gold, and teal with other accent colors. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran.
