This antique circa 1940 Mahal rug is a handmade, one-of-a-kind carpet with a refined Persian village aesthetic and an elegant all-over floral design framed by a generous border. Its softly faded palette of ivory, beige, taupe, and warm brown gives the hand-knotted composition a beautifully timeworn character, while the open field and repeating botanical motifs lend it quiet decorative depth. An ideal choice for a living room, bedroom, or dining room.
Faded neutral tones of ivory, beige, taupe, camel, brown, and greige, with a ivory field.
Mahal rugs are woven in the Mahallat district, about 45 miles southeast of Arak (formerly Sultanabad) in west-central Iran. Hand-knotted in a cottage industry setting on a cotton foundation using soft, lustrous wool with the Persian asymmetric knot, Mahal rugs occupy a distinctive middle ground between formal city carpets and bold tribal work — neither strictly floral nor geometric, they have an ideal informality that allows them to sit comfortably in almost any décor.
Their palette is typically subdued — ivories, grays, soft browns, and faded madder reds — and their all-over "Harshang" or herati-derived patterns have a folksy, country charm beloved by interior designers. Antique Mahal rugs are closely related to the better-known Sultanabad, sharing the same relaxed drawing and warm, lived-in quality.
