About the Item

76729 Late 19th Century Distressed Antique Persian Mahal Rug, 10'04 x 12'04. A relic of Persian artistry, this hand knotted wool Late 19th Century Persian Mahal rug is a vision of laid-back luxury, where time has softened its once-vivid hues into a tableau of delicate earth tones. A stately diamond medallion, rendered in deep charcoal, floats at the heart of a tranquil tan field, surrounded by an ethereal symphony of scrolling vines and palmettes. The gentle distressing of the woolen surface enhances the depth of its design, lending it a timeworn grace reminiscent of an ancient manuscript whose beauty endures despite the passage of centuries. Delicate floral motifs, arabesques, and stylized lotus blossoms unfurl across the antique-washed field, their graceful forms echoing the Persian tradition of weaving paradise into wool. The corner spandrels, mirroring the medallion’s tonal contrast, frame the composition with poetic symmetry, reinforcing a sense of balance and refinement. Soft abrash variations, the hallmark of hand-dyed wool, whisper of the artisan's deft touch and the organic nature of traditional dyeing techniques, each shade a testament to the passage of time. Encasing this woven wonder, the midnight-hued border unfolds with an intricate floral meander, where palmettes, rosettes, and scrolling vines form an elegant procession. The rhythmic interplay of dark and light tones within the border imbues the piece with quiet sophistication, drawing the eye toward the intricate interplay of floral elements that have been softened by time’s gentle embrace. The meticulous craftsmanship of Mahal weavers shines through, honoring the legacy of Persian rug-making traditions that flourished in the 19th century. With its understated elegance and harmonious composition, this antique Mahal rug bridges past and present, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of opulence and artistic mastery. Whether gracing the floor of a stately study or lending an air of cultivated refinement to a contemporary space, this piece stands as a testament to the enduring allure of Persian weaving. Its soft, earth-tone palette and timeless design ensure it remains as captivating today as it was over a century ago.

61115 Late 19th Century Distressed Antique Persian Mahal Rug, 11'09 x 15'08. Worn by time and softened by countless dawns, this 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 Herati motifs hums beneath the antique-washed field—like a forgotten song whispered through garden walls. Its mellowed 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 softened field is a flowing botanical border, where curling tendrils and delicate floral sprays echo the timeless fertility of Persian design. This 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 antique Persian Mahal rug brings a weathered elegance to any space it inhabits. From Mediterranean courtyards to Spanish haciendas, from Italian farmhouses...
