About the Item

This exquisite vintage Persian Mahal Sultanabad rug dates from the second quarter of the 20th century and showcases a masterfully woven allover Herati geometric pattern. Set against a deep midnight blue field, the intricate Herati motifs are rendered in rich shades of red, soft ivory, and muted blue, creating a harmonious and timeless aesthetic. The terracotta red border is adorned with elegant palmette forms in hues of golden yellow, sage green, soft pink, and sky blue, framing the central field with striking visual contrast. Woven in the famed weaving centers of western Persia, Mahal Sultanabad rugs are celebrated for their durability, artistic flair, and versatility in traditional and modern interiors. Influenced by the renowned Ziegler & Co. aesthetic, this piece carries the legacy of 19th-century Persian artistry, with a design and color palette that seamlessly blends bold geometry and refined elegance. Ideal for living rooms, libraries, or formal dining areas, this room-sized rug is a superb choice for designers and collectors seeking a statement piece of authentic Persian craftsmanship.

Vintage Persian Kashan Joshegan Room Size Rug in Allover Pattern in Ivory, Blue
Located in Barrington, IL
Feast your eyes in the artistry of this truly amazing and rare Vintage Persian Joshegan Kashan Room Size Rug, meticulously hand-knotted in 1920s Iran. Hailing from the town of Joshegan, located southwest of Kashan, this rug is a masterpiece of traditional weaving, distinguished by its unique and highly sought-after design. This beautiful Joshegan rug features an all-over "weeping willow" pattern, a motif also known as the “Tree of Life”. This design consists of interconnected, sub-geometric forms, primarily diamond shapes, rendered in a repeating fashion across the entire field. The design is brought to life with a stunning color palette of vibrant red, serene French blue, deep dark blue, and touches of green, cream, and pink, creating a harmonious and visually complex tapestry. What makes this rug exceptionally rare and desirable is its luminous ivory color background, a backdrop not commonly found in Joshegan weavings. This unique field color beautifully highlights the weeping willow and Tree of Life motifs, allowing the intricate details to truly shine. The rug's composition is elegantly enclosed by a striking rectilinear palmette Meander border, which is flanked by both inner and outer double guard bands and subsidiary crenelated fence border stripes. This sophisticated border provides a perfect frame for the central design, showcasing the incredible skill and attention to detail of the weaver.
