This large hand-knotted antique Mahal Persian carpet from 1900 displays an ivory field with a central dark blue and pink floral medallion, terracotta spandrels, and scrolling floral arabesques in shades of soft orange and green, framed within a dark multi-band border decorated with repeating floral motifs. The wool and cotton textile shows an even low pile with light signs of age. Measuring 380 cm high by 333 cm wide and 1 cm deep, this large-scale floor covering suits principal reception rooms or large living spaces in an English country house interior, adding traditional style and pattern to a floor scheme.

FAQs

Mahal carpets originate from the Arak region in central Persia, an area renowned for textile weaving since the nineteenth century. These carpets gained popularity in Western markets due to their expressive floral patterns, soft weave, and balanced colour palettes.

Authentic Mahal carpets are hand-knotted using natural wool pile woven onto a sturdy cotton warp and weft foundation. The wool was historically dyed using vegetable and mineral sources to produce rich, durable shades.

Authentic pieces display a supple handle with slightly larger knotting compared to fine city rugs, featuring bold central medallions or open floral arabesques. Subtle variations in dye intensity, known as abrash, are visible across the wool pile.

A large Persian rug serves as a foundational element in a living space, anchoring modern minimalist furniture with visual texture and historic depth. Its warmth complements natural wood floors, neutral walls, and contemporary upholstery.

Preservation requires regular low-suction vacuuming without a rotating brush to protect the hand-knotted wool fibres. Professional cleaning by a specialist textile restorer is recommended to remove deep dust while safeguarding natural dyes.
