Vintage Persian Mahal

This Persian rug hails from the flourishing era of craftsmanship in the Mahal region during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Distinguished by its unique construction, this rug boasts a heavily beaten, depressed warp, setting it apart from the traditional Mahal rugs characterized by Turkish knots on parallel warps. With its dense, deep pile and profound depression, this rug is crafted to withstand the test of time, promising to be a cherished heirloom for generations to come.

The hallmark of the region's artistry is evident in the expansive and intricate open design that graces this piece. The wide border features a serene pool of aqua blue, with delicate flowers seemingly floating on its surface, creating a captivating visual reminiscent of a tranquil water garden. Flanking this main border are smaller repetitive guard borders that mirror the design, adding a harmonious touch to the overall composition.

Within the main field, characterized by abrash or dye bath changes, linear and almost pillar-like structures emerge. These enigmatic elements could be interpreted as urns, pillars, or windows, adding a layer of intrigue to the rug's aesthetic. The soft and desirable colour palette of this masterpiece effortlessly elevates and enhances the décor of any room, making it a versatile and timeless addition. Meticulously maintained, this rug is in excellent condition, further attesting to its enduring quality and value.
