1920's Persian Mahal Carpet with Traditional Style

About the Item

72659 Antique Persian Mahal Rug, 06'09 x 10'02. Emanating a rich tableau of history and color, this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Mahal rug enchants with its bold artistry and tribal resonance. Set against a deep red field and radiating from the center, the stepped lozenge medallion glows with an ivory brilliance, its intricate Herati motifs, softly unfolding in harmonious symmetry. The design speaks of ancient gardens and celestial balance, where every motif—woven with care—reveals a symbolic gesture toward nature's order and beauty. The field pulses with energy, as stylized rosettes and cross-hatched lozenges form a rhythmic lattice that anchors the composition. Flanking the central medallion, large radiant blossoms stretch outward, their petals rendered with geometric finesse, suggestive of both tribal vigor and refined elegance. These blossoms, framed by a matrix of angular vines, embody a vibrant spirit, reflecting the weaver's connection to the fertile lands of Mahal, where artistry bloomed amidst village life and cultural heritage. Enclosing this vivid tableau is a magnificent green border, its unusual hue lending the piece a distinctive charm. Within this verdant frame, floral rosettes and serrated leaves meander with lyrical grace, interspersed with diamond-shaped blossoms and tribal medallions that hint at ancient symbols of protection and prosperity. Flanked by delicate guard bands adorned with diagonal motifs, the border offers both a visual and symbolic embrace, grounding the rug in a timeless balance between movement and stillness. This antique Persian Mahal rug is more than a floor covering; it is a woven poem of color, form, and memory. It evokes the stories of hands that knotted each thread with intention and care, of traditions passed through generations, and of beauty found in the meeting of geometry and nature. In any setting, it brings with it a legacy of craftsmanship and a spirit of enchantment that invites both admiration and reflection. Abrash. Redyed. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Iran (Persia). Measures: 06'09 x 10'02. Date: 1920's. Early 20th Century.
