Created in the village of Mahal in NW Persia, this antique 1900s Persian Mahal rug whispers tales of tradition and craftsmanship with its small scale all over botanical pattern sprawled delicately over a faint mint green background. The main border, adorned with a rich rust hue, adds a regal touch.
Handwoven with care using vegetable-dyed wools, each thread tells a story of meticulous artistry. As time passed, the once vibrant colors gracefully aged into a more subdued elegance, adding depth to its charm.
Despite its age, this large rug stands proud, albeit with a worn, low pile and a gentle, floppy handle that bears the marks of its journey through time. While fully intact, it's evident that this rug has weathered its fair share of footfalls. It beckons to be placed in a space where its history is revered, respected, and cherished.
