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.
