About the Item

76704 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Mahal Rug, 09'10 x 12'08. A testament to the enduring artistry of Persian craftsmanship, this hand-knotted wool Late 19th Century Persian Mahal rug unfolds like a poetic tableau woven with the whispers of time. The richly patinated field, adorned with an intricate floral lattice, radiates a sense of old-world grandeur. Faded to perfection, the once-vivid hues have mellowed into a distressed yet dignified palette of rustic red, indigo, and ivory-beige, evoking the faded frescoes of an ancient Persian garden. Each delicate blossom and intertwining vine speaks to the enduring beauty of nature, immortalized in wool by master weavers of the Mahal region. At the heart of this masterpiece lies an allover botanical design, where stylized palmettes, rosettes, and blossoming branches create an elegant dance across the field. The floral arrangement, inspired by the fabled gardens of Persia, symbolizes abundance, renewal, and eternal life. Subtle abrash variations lend depth and soul to the composition, a visual reminder of the natural dyes that have gently aged over time. The intricate motifs, meticulously hand-knotted, exude an effortless symmetry, capturing the Persian tradition of balance and harmony in design. Framing the resplendent field, a regal navy blue border embraces the composition with stately refinement. Enlivened with a meandering vine scroll and clusters of stylized florals, the border provides a striking contrast, enhancing the warmth of the central field. The gracefully timeworn edges only add to its storied character, embodying the passage of generations who have walked upon its surface, each footstep adding to its historical patina. This antique Persian Mahal rug is more than a floor covering—it is a fragment of history, a woven narrative that transcends time. Its weathered elegance and captivating composition make it an exquisite addition to both classical and modern interiors, bringing warmth, texture, and an air of cultivated refinement. Whether placed in a grand salon or an intimate study, this woven wonder offers a tangible link to the golden age of Persian weaving, a treasure to be cherished for generations to come.

Late 19th Century Antique Persian Mahal Carpet with Modern Style

Located in Dallas, TX

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...
