About the Item
78930 Antique Persian Mahal Rug, 08'10 x 11'08. This stunning hand-knotted wool antique Persian Mahal rug is a masterful example of Persian artistry, with its rich red field and intimate patina that speaks to its age and history. The rug’s surface is adorned with an allover pattern composed of classic Herati motifs, which are intricately woven into the fabric of the rug. These motifs, featuring a stylized rosette flanked by diamond-shaped leaves, are symbolic of fish swimming beneath the water's surface in the moonlight — a design that evokes a sense of tranquility and balance.
The Herati motifs across the Persian rug create a visual rhythm, drawing the eye into the intricate design that gracefully dances across the field. These motifs not only lend an artistic quality but also carry deep symbolism. In Persian culture, the Herati pattern represents abundance and fertility, often associated with water, which is vital to life in arid landscapes. The inclusion of this design adds layers of cultural and historical significance, infusing the rug with a rich narrative that speaks to the harmony and balance of nature.
Framing this mesmerizing field is a classic Herati palmette border that beautifully complements the central design. This border is flanked by an inner and outer meandering guard border, adding a dynamic flow around the perimeter of this Persian masterpiece. The repeating Boteh motif — an ancient Persian symbol resembling a teardrop or a flame — in the guard borders adds another layer of cultural depth, often interpreted as representing life, growth, and regeneration.
The combination of the deep red field, intimate patina, and these layered symbolic motifs creates a captivating piece that exudes elegance and timeless beauty. Whether placed in a living room, study, or dining area, this Persian Mahal rug is sure to bring warmth, sophistication, and a sense of history to any interior space, making it a treasured addition to any collection.
