Antique Mahal Area Rug (9' x 11')
Dimensions: 9'0" x 11'9" (274 cm x 358 cm).
Circa: 1930.
This antique Persian Mahal rug, circa 1930, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind carpet distinguished by its spacious all-over Heriz-inspired floral geometry and beautifully time-softened palette. The terracotta field is layered with ivory, slate blue, and brown motifs, framed by a deep floral border that showcases the bold drawing and decorative balance prized in early 20th-century Mahal weaving. Its hand-knotted character and refined, aged patina make it an elegant anchor for a living room, dining room, or office.
Faded warm tones of terra cotta, brown, ivory, slate, camel, charcoal, and rose, with a terra cotta 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.
