Fall in love with the movement, charm, and all the irresistible details of this 1920s Persian Mahal. Woven in the village of Mahal nearly a century ago, it features a warm ivory ground—a less common base in Persian rugs—that brings a lightness and glow to the piece.
Its curvilinear floral design is expressive and refined, with a rhythm that feels both regal and alive. Midnight blue borders frame the rug with lush floral art, handwoven by skilled women using thick, luxurious wool. The handle is beautifully floppy, and the pile is mostly full throughout, offering a soft, satisfying feel underfoot.
The natural dyes are rich and bold, with berry tones that shift subtly depending on the light—sometimes warmer, sometimes cooler, always deep and grounded. You’ll see some minor scattered wear, the kind that simply adds character and reminds you of the life it’s lived. The borders have a slightly plusher pile than the field, a touch of texture earned through time and use.
It’s clean, it’s storied, and it’s an absolute find—an antique Persian with soul, presence, and staying power.
