This antique Persian Mahal rug, circa 1920, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind carpet with an elegant all-over floral design and a beautifully time-softened palette. Its spacious field and wide border are rendered in faded aqua, terracotta, ivory, and muted sage tones, showcasing the refined decorative character and workshop craftsmanship that make Mahal rugs so sought after. A sophisticated statement piece for a living room, dining room, or bedroom.
Faded cool tones of aqua, terra cotta, ivory, sage, rust, and taupe, with a terra cotta 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.
