This antique circa 1930 Mahal rug is a handmade, one-of-a-kind Persian carpet distinguished by its softly faded terracotta field and elegant all-over floral design. Hand-knotted with a refined border and balanced symmetry, it showcases the decorative grandeur and nuanced patina that make Mahal rugs so sought after by collectors and designers. An ideal centerpiece for a living room, dining room, or bedroom.
Faded warm tones of terra cotta, ivory, sage, taupe, camel, and charcoal, 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.
