MAHAL RUG, AR30136/3193, WEST PERSIA, 10'4" X 16'7"

The Mahal rug, originating from the Persian region, is distinguished by its intricate designs and substantial craftsmanship. Typically produced in the late 19th to early 20th century, Mahal rugs were crafted in the Arak region, known for weaving rugs with a more casual and less formal aesthetic compared to other Persian varieties. This rug exhibits traditional Persian motifs, such as medallions, florals, and arabesques, executed in a looser weave. Unlike the highly formal Tabriz or Kashan rugs, the Mahal offers a more relaxed composition, often utilizing a mix of earth tones and subtle contrasts. The design balances complexity and spaciousness, with geometric elements framing the central motifs, indicative of the Mahal style's adaptability to both traditional and contemporary interiors.
