An oversized antique Persian Mahal from the 1920s, measuring a generous 12x15…not something that turns up every day. This rare gem is handwoven with vegetable dyed wool.
It features a small-scale Herati design, a classic and in-demand work of art that makes interiors easy to work with and seamless to design around. The field sits on a dark navy blue ground, with dusty blues and a great pop of French blue and sky blue featured in the border and field.
Designs like this — especially Mahals of this caliber — are very much in demand, and collectors love when they come across pieces like this. It has a low wool pile with scattered age-related wear that brings charm, not distraction. Floppy handle and recently cleaned. This is a standout piece not only for its design, but also for its size; most antique Mahals don’t come this large. A true one-of-a-kind from nearly a century ago, ready to carry the weight of a room and tell its next chapter.
