About the Item

This magnificent Mahal rug, woven in the renowned weaving centers of the Arak region (central Persia), dates back to the late 1800s and stands as a timeless example of Persian textile mastery. Measuring an impressive 296 x 410 cm, it features a subtly intricate all-over floral design, gracefully repeated across a field of muted pastels — from soft lilacs to pale saffron and faded rose. The balance of scale and softness in this piece makes it remarkably versatile: it brings gravitas to grand interiors, while its aged color palette exudes serenity and understatement. Whether placed in a curated collector’s home, a quiet luxury living room, or a boutique hospitality space, this rug commands attention through its quiet sophistication — never loud, always elegant.

Antique Large Persian Heriz Carpet, Early 20th Century
Located in San Francisco, CA
Antique Large Persian Heriz Carpet, Early 20th Century Heriz rugs and carpets were woven in Northwest Persia starting in the Mid-19th Century in response to a great increase in demand for rugs internationally.
