Antique Mahal Carpet

19th century
Description

This is a very beautiful and slightly distressed antique Mahal carpet, with the hard to find ivory background colour.  Using wonderful pale greens, blues and pinks for the all over design.  A soft pink tone light border is a great contrasting colour to the ivory off-white background.

Condition is distressed and some wear in areas, it is in good structural order with no holes or tears.  A beautiful and very decorative antique carpet.  Our underlay would aid the carpets condition greatly, as it stops the carpet moving around on the floor adding body to it.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originating from the Arak region in Persia, Mahal carpets are recognised for their expressive all-over designs, soft colour palettes, and large-scale decorative appeal popularised in late 19th-century weaving centres.

They are typically hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a durable cotton warp and weft foundation, incorporating natural vegetable dyes.

Authentic examples feature asymmetrical Persian knots, soft vegetable-dyed colours with natural abrash tonal variations, flexible foundations, and hand-bound edges showing age-appropriate wear.

These carpets serve as grounding foundation pieces in traditional English Country interiors or contrast against minimalist schemes, pairing well with natural timber and leather furniture.

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating beater bar, prompt spot cleaning with cold water, periodic rotation to ensure even wear, and professional washing by a specialist rug restorer are recommended.
