About the Item

53217 Distressed Antique Persian Mahal Rug, 10'02 x 13'05. A poetic reverie in wool and dye, this hand-knotted antique Persian Mahal rug is a bespoke masterpiece that embodies both legacy and allure. Woven in the heart of Persia during the golden age of late 19th-century artisanship, this magnificent treasure whispers tales of aristocratic salons and celestial gardens long past. The majestic abrashed field, rendered in a softly weathered brick red and terra cotta ground, evokes the richness of desert clay kissed by centuries of sunlight. Winding through this luminous canvas of expression is an allover botanical motif—palmettes, lotus blossoms, peonies, and pomegranate blooms unfolding in choreographed elegance, their curved sickle leaves and trailing vines forming a spellbinding lattice of organic poetry. This opulent design, marked by an elite balance of symmetry and softness, carries the creative power of signature Persian symbolism. Each floral element holds meaning: the pomegranate for abundance, the tulip for eternal love, the cloudband for celestial protection. The design speaks in a language of dreams, offering a modernist homage to nature’s bounty with an artistic precision rarely paralleled. The light-infused palette—whispers of sky blue, soft blush pink, ethereal beige, and sun-washed tan—contributes to the rug’s immersive ambiance, producing a sense of relaxed grandeur and timeless poise. Distressed just enough to echo the grace of time, its softly structured surface feels as familiar as it is coveted, a quintessential anchor for both contemporary and classic interiors. Framing this enchanted garden is a classic Samovar border—an exquisite articulation of the turtle vine scroll, punctuated with angular medallions and tender, stylized florals. The border is further elevated by a series of inner and outer guard bands rendered in the delicate rhythm of a carnation meander, an enduring tribute to Persian decorative lexicons. A crenelated fence motif, faintly echoed in the outermost edge, imbues the piece with a protective symmetry, as though safeguarding the dreamlike world within. This carefully tailored frame is a study in high-end design—refined, balanced, and remarkably rich in detail, every inch a canvas of intention and luxury. This piece is not merely a rug—it is a one-of-a-kind heirloom, a tribute to unparalleled craftsmanship and boundless creativity. Whether gracing the floors of a Parisian-inspired salon, a heritage-filled estate library, or an eco-designed modern retreat, it elevates any space into a sanctuary of timeless beauty. With its elegant silhouette and effervescent palette, this Persian Mahal rug transcends function, becoming a tailored expression of enduring elegance and elevated living. In a world that seeks the rare and the refined, this exceptional work of art stands as a beacon of heritage and enchantment. Distressed. Desirable Age Wear. Abrash. Antique Wash. Hand-knotted wool.

Late 19th Century Antique Persian Mahal Carpet with Modern Style

Located in Dallas, TX

61115 Late 19th Century Distressed Antique Persian Mahal Rug, 11'09 x 15'08. Worn by time and softened by countless dawns, this majestic hand-knotted wool antique Persian Mahal rug from the Late 19th Century carries the ghostly grace of an heirloom remembered. Faintly traced across its gently distressed surface, a poetic lattice of signature Herati motifs hums beneath the antique-washed field—like a forgotten song whispered through garden walls. Its mellowed dreamlike tones—earthy red, dusty taupe, sage, and loam—are brushed with the fading light of centuries, casting a warm, hushed serenity that calls to mind the ochre stones and sun-washed walls of Mediterranean villas and rustic Tuscan estates. At the heart of this tranquil expanse, a lozenge-shaped central medallion emerges, barely distinguishable yet striking in its quiet symmetry, flanked by corner spandrels that mirror its form and cradle hints of the Mina Khani design. The Mina Khani, with its circular rosettes and undulating vinework, suggests the movement of stars across an ancient sky, or a field of henna blossoms drifting in the breeze—feminine, rhythmic, and eternal. The whisper of this garden geometry unfurls with a sense of time slowed, drawing the eye deeper into its contemplative calm. Framing the softly structured field is a flowing botanical border, where curling tendrils and delicate floral sprays echo the timeless fertility of Persian design. This captivating frame is further enriched by an inner and outer carnation meander guard band—each carnation a symbol of enduring love and layered protection, gently fencing this woven garden in quiet reverence. Though the outlines have blurred and the pigments have softened, every motif remains legible in spirit, revealing a masterful dance between dissolution and persistence. Ideal for interiors steeped in rustic refinement or Old World charm, this rare and whimsical woven wonder brings a weathered elegance to any space it inhabits. From Mediterranean courtyards to Spanish haciendas, from Italian farmhouses...
