Mahal Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi-antique Mahal Persian rug, measuring 12'12" x 8'10", showcases the masterful artistry of Persian weavers from the Markazi province with its stunning medallion and Herati patterns rendered in rich madder red, burgundy, and navy blue. Dating back 40-60 years, this exceptional piece carries the authentic patina and character that only comes with age, displaying the time-honored weaving traditions that have made Mahal rugs treasured heirlooms for generations.
The Mahal weaving region in central Persia has been renowned since the 19th century for producing rugs of exceptional quality and distinctive character, with local artisans developing their own interpretation of classical Persian designs. This particular rug features the beloved Toranj (medallion) motif at its center, surrounded by intricate Herati patterns known as "Mahi" (fish) that create a mesmerizing geometric dance across the field. The burgundy and navy blue accents beautifully complement the dominant madder red ground, while touches of ivory, pink, and brown add depth and sophistication to the overall composition.
Crafted entirely from natural wool and cotton using traditional asymmetrical Persian knots, this one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any living space with its authentic beauty and commanding presence. The generous 12'12" x 8'10" foot size makes it perfect for anchoring large living rooms, dining areas, or master bedrooms, providing ample coverage while allowing furniture to rest comfortably on its luxurious surface. The semi-antique age brings a wonderful mellowed quality to the colors, creating subtle variations in tone that add visual interest and prevent the bold palette from overwhelming a room.
At Los Angeles Home of Rugs, this authentic Mahal represents not just a floor covering but a piece of Persian cultural heritage that brings warmth, elegance, and artistic sophistication to contemporary homes. The traditional fringe finish and expert craftsmanship ensure this rug will continue to beautify your space for decades to come, making it an investment in both style and lasting quality that perfectly bridges the gap between classical Persian artistry and modern interior design.
