An extraordinary late 19th century Persian Mahal rug, measuring 7 x 21’5! It's a grand scale piece with remarkable presence, design and high quality wool that's beautiful and healthy. Handwoven with vegetable dyed wool, this rug is both stout and solid, showing off a tight, good weave that has carried it through more than a century in exquisite condition.
The navy field is alive with a small-scale water garden design, repeating floral sprays and lovely motifs that ripple across the surface like blossoms scattered over water. Its rust-reddish border frames the field with warmth and contrast, grounding the composition while adding depth and strength. The interplay of these colors, the navy, rust, soft blues, and warm earthy accents gives the rug phenomenal character and makes it highly versatile and easy to style.
Mahal rugs are celebrated for their village charm and durability, and this piece embodies that legacy on a rare and impressive scale. Its length makes it a statement in long corridors, galleries, or grand entryways, while its condition and balance of design ensure it will remain both functional and artistic for generations to come. A true heirloom, ready to anchor and elevate a space with historic beauty. Thank you for shopping small!
