Description
An ancient antique Mahal carpet with a rare natural off-white wool background, the deep blue border compliments it well and allows all the accent colours of red, pale blues, golds and greens to highlight the well drawn pattern. Beautifully hand woven with great flow and symmetry, this decorative carpet would blend seamlessly into an interior or be wonderful to select fabrics from.
Condition is generally good with some minor wear in places, with our sturdy anti-slip underlay (supplied in the price) this would aid the carpet greatly, as it stops the carpet moving around on the floor adding body to it and preventing wear.

Mahal carpets were produced in Sultanabad, Persia which is now Arak in the centre of Iran. Mahal and Sultanabad rugs were made in the same area as the earliest Fereghans and Sarouks, but they are very different in form and structure. Floral motifs and overall designs of vinescrolls and palmettes remain consistent with the influences of western colour palettes and are all characteristics of Ziegler carpets.
