Antique Mahal Area Rug (11' x 16')
Dimensions: 11'6" x 16'8" (351 cm x 508 cm).
Circa: 1910.
This antique Persian Mahal rug, circa 1910, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind carpet distinguished by its spacious all-over floral lattice and beautifully time-softened palette. The hand-knotted design features a rose field framed by a golden border, with refined botanical motifs and gently faded decorative detail that give it the graceful character collectors prize in early 20th-century Mahal weavings. An ideal centerpiece for a living room, dining room, or bedroom.
Faded warm tones of rose, gold, ivory, taupe, brown, sage, and terra cotta, with a rose 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.
