Antique Mahal Carpet, Persian, Slightly Distressed in Places

1900 - 1920
Description

An attractive Mahal carpet from the early twentieth century with a decorative open floral design, this pattern is know as the Mina Khani design.  It appears on a variety of rugs such as Veramin, Heriz, Tabriz or tribal rugs such as Baluch.  A soft muted red background with gentle greens, pale blues and an indigo border.  This carpet is distressed in places with some wear in the border and a little in the main field.  Still in brilliant working order and useable with our excellent underlay included in the price.  It would look great on a wood floor in many rooms whether a hall, drawing room, dining room or study.

Mahal carpets were produced in Sultanabad, Persia which is now Arak in the center 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 vine scrolls and palmettes remain consistent with the influences of western color palettes and are all characteristics of Ziegler carpets.  Neighbours to Heriz carpets there designs are very different as Heriz tend to be quite angular and geometric whereas Mahal carpets are generally more open in design and curvilinear.

Please request a home visit to select a convenient day and time for you to view this carpet at home.  We love to travel all over the UK showing carpets in situ, helping you choose the right carpet for your home.

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.
