Dimensions: 10'4" x 13'7" (315 cm x 414 cm).

This antique Persian Mahal rug, circa 1920, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind carpet with a beautifully aged all-over design framed by a bold geometric border. Its softly faded blue field and blush-toned border create an elegant, decorative palette, while the intricate hand-knotted patterning gives the piece the refined character collectors seek in early 20th-century Mahal rugs. An ideal centerpiece for a living room, dining room, or bedroom.
Faded cool tones of blue, ivory, rose, taupe, slate, and dusty pink, with a blue 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.
