This vintage Mahal runner is a handmade, one-of-a-kind piece that showcases the refined floral artistry of Persian weaving in a long, elegant format. Its coral-red field is enlivened by repeating palmettes and stylized botanical motifs framed by an ivory and navy border, creating a balanced traditional composition with strong decorative presence. Hand-knotted with collector-friendly character and a beautifully time-softened palette, it is an ideal choice for a hallway, entryway, or kitchen.
Muted warm tones of coral, ivory, navy, slate, rose, and charcoal, with a coral 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.
