Dating back to 1880, this square-shaped antique Persian rug is a remarkable piece of floor art. Its unusual dimensions are immediately striking, a rarity in the world of fine antique rugs. Curvilinear floral motifs branch into graceful vines, creating an intricate garden-like design on a golden ground. Indigo, rust, soft pinks, ivory, aqua blue, and walnut hues come together in a palette that feels as effortless as it is harmonious. Vegetable dyes infuse the rug with rich depth and the subtle variations of abrash, adding authenticity and character to its already stunning appeal.
The border, alive with delicate floral sprays and botanical details, enhances the rug’s balance of boldness and refinement. It’s a piece that exudes both vibrancy and tranquility, a fantastic example of the skill and artistry of its creators.
Lightly scattered wear lends a touch of history, a reminder of the hands that wove it and the lives it has graced. A true gem of craftsmanship, this amazing piece of floor art is not just an addition to a space - it’s a focal point, a conversation starter, and a celebration of beauty steeped in age, from the village of Mahal.
Place it in a living room to anchor the seating area, in a dining room to define the dining space, or in a bedroom to ground the space and create a luxurious and inviting ambiance.
Low pile. Handwoven with vegetable dyed wool.
