Hailing from a Northwest Persian village, this truly exquisite antique Persian Mahal rug has stood the test of time and still exudes an undeniable charm. With an allover design, each motif has a life of its own with gorgeous aged vegetable dyes in lovely blues, greens, and darker pinks framed in by a fantastic bold midnight blue border. The lattice-like foliage design against the unusual dark khaki ground is simply breathtaking, with intricate details handwoven with precision and care, showcasing the skill of the master weaver who created it.
Over time, the vegetable dyes have worn to create a soft and muted color palette, giving this rug a unique and timeless quality. This time earned watercolor effect will add a touch of sophistication and elegance to any space, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that is both cozy and stylish. Although this beauty has visited Rug Rehab to give it some TLC, it is fully intact. Patches were added to the underside of the rug to secure it, but should not be placed in an extremely high traffic area.
This antique Persian Mahal rug is not just a decorative item, but also a treasured heirloom that holds immense historical and cultural value. Preserving its beauty, respecting its history, and upholding its amazing art value will allow subsequent generations to enjoy it for the foreseeable future.
