Antique Distressed Persian Mahal Faded Dark Brown-Green with Rose 11'4''x18'

About the Item

This antique Persian Sultanabad Mahal rug, measuring 11′4″ × 18′, offers a striking blend of grandeur and subtlety with its beautifully distressed patina and soft, muted palette. Woven in the early 20th century, this piece showcases a spacious allover floral design anchored by stylized palmettes and scrolling vines, rendered in tones of faded charcoal, slate, soft rose, pale olive, and ivory. The intentionally worn aesthetic enhances its vintage character, offering a rich texture and depth that speaks to the rug’s age and artisanal heritage. The generous proportions make it ideal for anchoring large living spaces, great rooms, or open-plan interiors. The wide borders feature rosettes and floral cartouches in complementary hues, which frame the field with a sense of harmony and balance. This rug is hand-knotted from high-quality wool and finished with a low, evenly sheared pile, contributing to its contemporary appeal despite its antique origins. Sought after by designers for its refined elegance and neutral faded tones, this antique Sultanabad embodies the perfect balance of timeless craftsmanship and modern sensibility.
