About the Item

An Exquisite Antique Persian Mahal Runner, This is not merely a rug; it is a rare and soulful artifact, a true Antique Persian Mahal runner that carries the whispers of a bygone era. Every inch of its surface tells a story, where a once-vibrant, intricate design has been gracefully mellowed by a century of life into a work of profound, textural beauty. To own this piece is to become the custodian of a unique and irreplaceable piece of Iranian weaving history. Technique & Design: The Art of the Master Weaver Crafted in the historic Mahal region of Iran, this runner is a testament to the pinnacle of village weaving. Technique: The rug's creation is through the time-honored Hand-Knotted technique. This meticulous, artisanal process results in a textile of incredible density and heirloom quality, ensuring its beauty endures for generations. Design: The design is a classic, all-over pattern of stylized florals and vines, now softened to a gentle, abstract impression. The beauty lies in tracing the "ghost" of the original pattern, which gives the rug immense visual depth and a sophisticated, artistic character that is both complex and wonderfully serene. Style & Color: A Symphony of Muted Hues The soul of this rug is found in its perfect balance of traditional roots and modern appeal. Style: While its soul is deeply rooted in Traditional Persian design, its "erased" aesthetic makes it a masterpiece for Transitional and contemporary interiors. It introduces a profound sense of history and texture without overwhelming a space with a bold pattern. Color Palette: The color palette is a breathtaking symphony of time-softened hues. A serene field of dusty, silvery-blue is interwoven with accents of creamy ivory, faded rose pink, and warm terracotta red. These natural, hand-dyed colors have aged to a perfect, harmonious patina that is impossible to replicate. Material & Presence: A Legacy in Wool Woven from 100% resilient Persian Wool, this antique rug showcases the material's ability to age with unparalleled grace. The pile has been worn to a low, velvety-smooth texture that is a testament to its long and cherished life. As a grand Runner Rug measuring 37 by 202 inches, it is perfectly scaled to create a dramatic and soulful pathway in a hallway, entryway, or long gallery, transforming a simple space into a passage of timeless elegance.
