This early 20th century Persian Mahal rug is a distinguished example of village weaving at its finest. Measuring 8 feet 9 inches by 12 feet, it features a highly unusual allover design—a hallmark of classical Mahal artistry—rendered in a vibrant palette of naturally vegetable-dyed hues.

The rug is woven with a wool pile on a cotton foundation, with the telltale blue weft threads and ivory cotton warp that are characteristic of authentic antique Mahal carpets. Its field showcases a lush tapestry of stylized floral motifs and scrolling vines, skillfully balanced across the rug’s surface for a richly detailed, yet harmonious composition.

The weaving is very fine for a village carpet, with crisp articulation of each motif and a soft, supple handle. This rug is in very good condition for its age and retains its full charm and usability. It’s an exceptional decorative piece with timeless appeal and historical character.
