If you're on the hunt for something truly unique, this large antique 1880s Persian Mahal rug fits the bill with its rare square-ish shape and gorgeous design pattern. Its warm brick red ground blooms with an all over botanical pattern in sunny yellows and a lovely lime green, creating a versatile design that makes styling easy. The main border tells its own story, beginning with one decorative motif before shifting completely to another creation and design all together, a wonderful reflection of the weaver’s evolving vision.
Handwoven with vegetable-dyed wool, the colors unfold in a regal tapestry of vibrant, rich hues. Abrash, a natural phenomenon that occurs when a new batch of dyed wool is introduced during the weaving process creating a unique shift in hue, can be seen throughout.
With a floppy handle and scattered signs of love worn wear, it carries the charm of a well-lived life. It’s not suited for high traffic areas (if you have a mastiff, a pit bull, or any other excited or rambunctious fur babies, check out BPR’s other Persians that can take them on). This piece is ideal for a space where its history and beauty can be admired and enjoyed in a setting that will live comfortably with you and give you all its love.
