About the Item

74965 Vintage Persian Mahal Rug, 06’10 x 09’03. Step into the timeless elegance of this hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Mahal rug, a stunning example of exquisite craftsmanship and intricate design. The composition features a captivating medallion-corner design, with a central medallion radiating outward in a symmetrical arrangement that draws the eye and anchors the overall composition. The medallion, adorned with delicate floral patterns, is surrounded by lush corner spandrels that echo the central motif, creating a harmonious and balanced aesthetic that enhances any interior space. The rich red field of the rug is adorned with a profusion of stylized flowers, vines, and foliage, each element meticulously woven to create a canvas of natural beauty. The vibrant floral patterns are not just decorative but carry deep symbolism, representing life, growth, and renewal. The interplay of colors—deep reds, soft blues, and muted greens—adds depth and dimension to the design. The border of this vintage Persian Mahal rug is adorned with an intricate bird pattern set against a deep navy background, creating a striking contrast with the rich red field. Flanked by delicate inner and outer guard borders, the main bird border showcases gracefully intertwined blossoms and vines. The guard borders feature meandering vine patterns with interspersed floral motifs, adding layers of depth and complexity. This elegant framing highlights the meticulous craftsmanship and artistry, making the rug a timeless and versatile addition to any interior space.​ This vintage Persian Mahal rug is more than just a floor covering; it is a piece of art that complements a variety of interior design styles. Its intricate patterns and rich colors make it a perfect addition to traditional and classic settings, adding warmth and sophistication. At the same time, its timeless appeal allows it to seamlessly blend into more contemporary and eclectic interiors, offering a touch of history and elegance. Whether placed in a living room, dining room, or study, this rug transforms the space, inviting you to explore its intricate beauty and rich cultural heritage.
