Circa: 1930.
This antique circa 1930 Mahal rug is a handmade, one-of-a-kind Persian carpet with a softly weathered all-over floral design. Its muted sage field is layered with faded rose, terracotta, ivory, and brown botanical motifs, framed by a finely detailed geometric floral border for an elegant, timeworn presence. An ideal accent for a living room, bedroom, or office.
Faded neutral tones of sage, rose, terracotta, ivory, olive brown, charcoal, rust, and taupe, with a sage 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.
