About the Item
75266 Antique Persian Mahal Rug, 05’01 x 10’00. This enchanting hand knotted wool antique Persian Mahal rug is a mesmerizing canvas of cultural symbolism and artistic mastery. Showcasing a striking composition, five grand amulets in alternating deep persimmon and cream hues align along the central axis, exuding a protective and mystical allure. These amulets, traditionally woven as talismans, are believed to ward off malevolent forces while bestowing good fortune upon the home. Their geometric precision and rhythmic repetition add a sense of balance and order, echoing the deep-rooted traditions of Persian weaving.
The amulets rest upon a dramatic onyx field, a rich and mysterious backdrop that amplifies the vibrancy of the surrounding motifs. Within this deep expanse, an intricate array of stylized camels, doves, and peacocks emerges, each carrying its own significance. Camels, symbols of endurance and prosperity, represent the resilience of those who traverse life’s many journeys. Doves, eternal messengers of peace and love, bring an air of serenity to the composition. Meanwhile, the regal peacocks, with their graceful plumage, signify beauty, immortality, and divine protection, lending the rug an air of opulence and grandeur.
The field is further adorned with an exuberant garden of stylized flowers, their blossoms rendered in mint, ice blue, and ivory. These delicate floral motifs symbolize rebirth, abundance, and the eternal cycle of nature, weaving a poetic narrative of life’s continuous renewal. Interwoven among them, geometric rosettes punctuate the design, echoing ancient Persian beliefs that saw the rosette as a cosmic symbol of unity and the infinite nature of time. This interplay of flora and celestial motifs creates a visual symphony that speaks of harmony and interconnectedness.
Framing this exceptional work of textile artistry is an exquisite border that pays homage to the skilled weavers of Mahal. Adorned with intricate meandering vines, abstract floral arrangements, and protective talismanic elements, the border acts as both a decorative frame and a symbolic safeguard, preserving the sacred beauty within. A true testament to the ingenuity of Mahal’s artisans, this rug is more than a mere decorative piece—it is a woven narrative, a guardian of tradition, and an enduring relic of a time-honored craft. Whether displayed as a centerpiece or treasured as an heirloom, this Persian Mahal rug breathes history and splendor into any space.
