This fabulous antique Persian rug, from the early 1900s, shows off wonderful craftsmanship and a classical over water garden Mahi (fish) design. The small-scale motifs swirl across a deep navy blue field, bringing texture and movement to every inch. Around the edge, the main border pops with a super light mint green, with a chain of floral art set against an ivory background. Smaller border bands carry a whimsical paisley pattern for extra detail.
Handwoven entirely from wool dyed with natural sources like plants, flowers, and vegetables, it has a rich, organic palette that has mellowed beautifully over time. The pile is low, the handle is floppy, and the surface shows the kind of wear that only comes from over a century of life, adding loads of character. Measuring close to 5x8, it’s a versatile size that can fit into a variety of spaces. Whether you’re looking for something with personality for a living room, bedroom, or office, this rug is easy to style and instantly adds history to the mix.
