Dimensions: 9'4" x 12'8" (284 cm x 386 cm).
Circa: 1920.
This antique circa 1920 handmade rug is a one-of-a-kind room-size carpet with an elegant all-over floral design and a softly timeworn palette. Its muted ivory, taupe, and slate tones, layered border, and finely drawn traditional pattern give it the refined character collectors seek in early 20th century decorative weavings. An ideal foundation for a living room, dining room, or bedroom.
Faded neutral tones of ivory, taupe, slate, charcoal, beige, and sage, 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.
