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 majestic 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 signature Herati motifs hums beneath the antique-washed field—like a forgotten song whispered through garden walls. Its mellowed dreamlike 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 softly structured field is a flowing botanical border, where curling tendrils and delicate floral sprays echo the timeless fertility of Persian design. This captivating 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 rare and whimsical woven wonder brings a weathered elegance to any space it inhabits. From Mediterranean courtyards to Spanish haciendas, from Italian farmhouses...
