9'10 x 12'5 Hand-Knotted Persian Mahal Room-Sized Rug

Item Details

This hand-knotted Persian Mahal area rug, originating from the historic weaving district of Mahallat in the Arak region, showcases a robust village-workshop construction. The central field is anchored by a repeating geometric lattice of ivory cartouches and stylized floral sprays set against a deep terracotta-red ground. This structured design is framed by a sophisticated navy blue primary border featuring traditional palmette and vine scroll motifs, flanked by secondary ivory guard borders. The color palette exhibits the mellowed saturation typical of natural dyes that have aged gracefully, avoiding the high-contrast vibrancy of modern chemical alternatives.
