This palatial antique Persian Mahal brings warmth, age, and elegance to the floor. Handwoven in the 1920s with naturally dyed wool, it features an allover lattice design of stylized florals, palmettes, and scrolling vines — a classic village aesthetic with soft symmetry and artistic looseness.
The field is a time-washed madder red with earthy undertones and visible abrash, while the navy border holds more pile and visual weight, anchoring the composition with bold contrast. Worn low throughout the center, with a meatier feel in the border, this rug has character that only a century of life can create.
One small area near border (as shown in photo) has been expertly rewoven and restored, ensuring it’s both beautiful and floor-ready for modern life.
It measures 10’2 x 13’4 — a generous, palatial size — and carries the soft handle and soulful aging that only time and use can give. A true antique with grace and presence, ideal for grounding a large space with history and soul.
