1920's Persian Mahal Carpet with Modern Style

About the Item

61148 Antique Persian Mahal Rug, 04'03 x 06'07. In the heart of our collection lies an exquisite testament to the legacy of Mahal rugs — an embodiment of timeless craftsmanship and artistic finesse. Behold, this beautiful addition to our curated selection: a hand-knotted wool antique Persian Mahal rug, steeped in the rich traditions of the Mahallat region. Much like its esteemed predecessors, this antique Persian Mahal rug seamlessly marries classic elegance with a profound connection to tradition. The roots of its design delve deep into the storied history of Mahal rugs, celebrated for their bold, geometric compositions. As the loom weaves the threads of history, the floral narrative unfolds, adorned with blooming palmettes, stylized roses, lotus blossoms, serrated leaves, peonies, and foliage. This symphony of botanical motifs dances gracefully upon a regal red backdrop, a nod to the traditional Mahal color palette. The rug's composition, characterized by an allover pattern, echoes the Herati style, embodying the distinctive "diamond and curling leaf" pattern that has graced the floors of homes for centuries. The craftsmanship, a testament to the coarser knotting and loose to moderate weave indicative of Mahal rugs, ensures both durability and a luxurious tactile experience. Framing this artistic tableau is a complementary border, a veritable garden of flowers that echoes the aesthetic principles of Mahal rugs. Enclosed by sawtooth guard borders, the rug exudes a touch of edginess, a delightful departure from the expected. This aesthetic flourish finds its roots in the historical context of Mahal rugs, where even the most traditional designs often held an element of surprise. Joyful with a sense of feminine energy this vintage Mahal rug is a celebration of form and color. It is more than a rug; it is a living piece of history, a carpet that weaves the threads of tradition with the innovation of the present. As we showcase this antique Persian rug, we invite you to become a part of the timeless narrative of Mahal rugs, where each thread tells a story, and each rug is a masterpiece unto itself. Rendered in variegated shades of red, green, blue, pink, beige, navy blue, black, tan, rose, cerulean, teal, taupe, burgundy, coffee and verdigris with other accent colors. Abrash. Desirable Age Wear. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 04'03 x 06'07. Date: 1920's. Early 20th Century.
