This vintage Persian Mahal rug is a handmade, one-of-a-kind carpet with a softly aged floral design and a refined central medallion framed by an elegant border. Its muted palette of ivory, taupe, blush, and charcoal gives the hand-knotted composition a beautifully timeworn character, while the spacious 9' x 12' format adds classic decorative presence. An ideal centerpiece for a living room, dining room, or bedroom.
Faded neutral tones of ivory, taupe, charcoal, blush, beige, and slate, with a ivory 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.
