About the Item

73381 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Mahal Rug, 10'04 x 17'08. A masterpiece of cultural legacy and elevated design, this hand-knotted wool exquisite, antique Persian Mahal rug from the Late 19th Century exemplifies the timeless elegance of Persian craftsmanship. Woven with meticulous precision, its grand scale and majestic composition reflect the opulence and refined sophistication that defined the finest Mahal workshops of the era. The rich red field glows with a enchanting patina, serving as a regal canvas for a breathtaking allover pattern of palmettes, rosettes, and vine scrolls. Each floral motif unfurls with graceful lyricism, creating a visual rhythm inspired by the architectural beauty of Persian gardens—spaces cultivated to echo paradise through symmetry and abundance. Infused with symbolic resonance, the botanical elements woven throughout this magnificent speak to the eternal cycle of life—growth, renewal, and harmony. Towering palmettes, drawn from classical Safavid and Persian motifs, evoke royal splendor, while the delicate tendrils and interlacing foliage whisper of unity, continuity, and natural elegance. Subtle abrash variations, achieved through natural dyes and artisan techniques, breathe life and texture into the extraordinary field, giving this exceptional work of art its distinct sense of depth and movement. These mesmerizing tonal shifts are not imperfections, but markers of authentic, time-honored luxury—each dreamlike hue echoing the hand of the weaver and the vibrancy of 19th-century Persian textile artistry. Enveloping the larger than life composition is a deep sapphire border, a visual counterpoint that adds both celestial grandeur and spellbinding clarity to the design. Within this frame, stylized blossoms and palmettes march in rhythmic procession, their sumptuous forms rendered with a balance of delicacy and strength. Flanking this primary border are finely drawn guard bands—architectural details rich in floral motifs and geometric meanders that amplify the composition’s overall refinement without overpowering its elegance. This interplay between structure and flourish embodies the Persian design philosophy: that infinite beauty lies within ordered grace, and that every detail—however small—contributes to the symphony of the whole. To own this antique Persian Mahal rug is to inherit a piece of living history, where luxury, meaning, and artistry are seamlessly intertwined. Its hand-knotted wool pile offers both comfort and resilience, while its harmonious color palette and intricate design elevate the aesthetic narrative of any space it inhabits. Whether anchoring a stately library, gracing a grand hallway, or adding warmth to a curated salon, this rug is more than a furnishing—it is a curated heirloom, a rare and precious expression of Persian heritage, and an enduring testament to the art of weaving as a medium of timeless sophistication and quiet grandeur.

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...
