Vintage Mahal Area Rug (9' x 12')
Dimensions: 9'3" x 12'6" (282 cm x 381 cm).
This vintage Mahal rug is a handmade, one-of-a-kind Persian carpet distinguished by its richly drawn all-over floral design and dramatic contrast between a deep navy field and a bold rust-red border. Finely articulated palmettes, vinery, and angular floral elements give the composition a strong decorative presence, while the hand-knotted wool pile and nuanced age-softened palette speak to its craftsmanship and collector appeal. An ideal centerpiece for a living room, dining room, or office.
Muted warm tones of navy, rust, coral, teal, ivory, slate, and rose, with a navy 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.
