Antique Persian Mahal rug, circa 1920, hand-knotted and one-of-a-kind, with a terracotta field layered in an intricate all-over lattice and anchored by a softly drawn central medallion. The pale ivory border and accents of sky blue, navy, and sage create refined contrast, showcasing the nuanced artistry and decorative balance that make Mahal carpets so sought after. A versatile statement piece for a living room, dining room, or office.
Muted warm tones of terracotta, ivory, sky blue, navy, sage, taupe, and camel, with a terracotta 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.
