About the Item

This mid-20th century Persian Mahal runner, measuring 1' 6" x 6' 2", showcases a striking diamond lattice design that evolves in both color and composition from top to bottom. Each diamond is filled with alternating jewel tones, emerald, ruby, sapphire, and amethyst, interspersed with lighter creams and pastels, creating a rhythmic progression that suggests movement and visual depth. The field features small dotted accents within many of the diamonds, lending the piece a subtle layer of intricacy. The palette transitions gradually, blending darker hues at the top into softer, more whimsical tones toward the base, reflecting a sophisticated use of color modulation often seen in Mahal weaving traditions. The rug’s elongated form and narrow width make it ideal for hallways or stair runners, adding a vibrant and artistic touch to narrow spaces. Its bold geometry and engaging color story bring a dynamic, decorative presence that merges classical Persian aesthetics with playful mid-century flair.
