Antique Mahal Area Rug (12' x 17')
Dimensions: 12'2" x 17'0" (371 cm x 518 cm).
Circa: 1910.
This antique Persian Mahal rug, circa 1910, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind carpet distinguished by its grand scale, softly faded palette, and elegant all-over floral drawing anchored by a prominent central medallion. The dark field is framed by a spacious rust border, showcasing refined hand-knotted craftsmanship and a beautifully time-softened decorative character that collectors prize in early 20th-century Mahal weavings. An ideal statement piece for a living room, dining room, or office.
Faded warm tones of charcoal, rust, ivory, taupe, slate, camel, sage, and terra cotta, with a charcoal 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.
