Colourful Mahal Carpet, Persia, Circa 1910, 3.70m X 2.78m (12'1" X 9'4")

1900 - 1920

Sold by Aaron Nejad Carpets and Rugs

Description

This lovely room-size Persian carpet has a plush pile with a very pretty repeating floral design, known as the the Afshan design. There is a sparkling array of colours, including a terracotta background, pinks, greens, various light blues and a sapphire blue border. The border is very well-designed and would look great around a dining table. The overall impression is formal, but like many Mahal carpets from this period, the palmettes and other details are quite angular which gives the carpet a more 'relaxed' feel. It has survived the generations in very good condition, the pile being worn evenly. The selvages are original and intact, as are the the ends. There are no old repairs. Professionally cleaned in our workshops and ready for immediate use.
