This antique Persian Mahal rug, circa 1910, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind carpet distinguished by its spacious all-over floral lattice and richly drawn border ensemble. The terracotta field is animated by ivory, navy, sage, and soft gold accents, showcasing the decorative balance and artisanal character that make Mahal rugs so sought after by collectors and designers. Its elegant scale and refined patterning make it an ideal foundation for a living room, dining room, or office.
Muted warm tones of terra cotta, navy, ivory, sage, gold, rust, olive, and camel, 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.
