About the Item

78956 Distressed Antique Persian Mahal Rug, 11'09 x 16'04. This captivating hand-knotted wool antique Persian Mahal rug carries the timeless beauty and intricate craftsmanship for which the Mahal weaving tradition is known. Its rich red field is adorned with an allover pattern of large, stylized floral motifs, creating a dynamic and elegant design. The floral elements are arranged in a lattice formation, with each flower interspersed with angular vine scrolls, showcasing the sophistication of Persian rug design. The distressed texture of the rug lends an air of rustic charm, with subtle variations in color and texture that evoke the passage of time and the enduring legacy of this piece. The intricate floral motifs that define the field of this Mahal rug are more than decorative—they carry significant symbolic weight in Persian culture. The lotus flowers represent purity and renewal, while the surrounding angular palmettes and floral patterns symbolize the cyclical nature of life, growth, and beauty. The vines that connect the blossoms suggest continuity and the interconnectedness of all things, which is a recurring theme in Persian artistry. This layering of symbolism gives the Mahal rug a depth that transcends its aesthetic appeal, making it a meaningful piece of cultural history. Framing the vibrant field is a highly stylized border composed of alternating palmettes and floral rosettes, flanked by an inner and outer meandering vine scroll guard border. The palmette motif, with its regal, crown-like shape, symbolizes prosperity and fertility, adding to the overall sense of abundance that this rug exudes. The border creates a visual frame that draws the eye inward, enhancing the rug's central design while providing a sense of balance and harmony. The distressed areas of the rug only heighten its historical allure, offering a glimpse into its journey through time. This Persian Mahal rug, with its intimate patina and laid-back luxury appearance, is perfect for adding a sense of history and character to any interior space. Its bold red field and rugged beauty make it a striking centerpiece for both traditional and contemporary settings. The rug's large size allows it to anchor a grand living room, dining room, or bedroom, while its soft, time-worn hues blend seamlessly with a variety of color palettes. Whether placed in a modern rustic home or a more classic, formal environment, this antique Mahal rug promises to infuse the space with warmth, cultural richness, and relaxed refinement. Distressed.
