Description

A really attractive antique Mahal carpet dating from the early 20th century, with a soft wool pile and minimal lower areas of pile, adding to this lovely country house looking antique carpet. Unusual sunburst design on this Mahal, more-often this design was used on a larger scale in oversize carpets. The sunburst motif is the off-white pattern running down the centre of the carpet, plus in teal blue either side in the centre. Some gorgeous pale greens have been used as-well.

All professionally cleaned and in original order it is ready to use on the floor. Not having a central medallion makes this an easy antique carpet to place in a variety of rooms. Woven around circa 1910 the colours have faded beautifully, these carpets from northern Persia are full of charm and suit country houses to London apartments.
