79128 Distressed Antique Persian Mahal Rug, 10'05 x 13'09. This hand-knotted wool distressed antique Persian Mahal rug is a masterpiece of romantic charm and historical allure. The mesmerizing design is anchored by a concentric oval medallion that seems to float gracefully on a midnight navy-blue field. This central medallion is delicately ornamented with intricate floral and vine motifs, creating a visual symphony of elegance and refinement. At its core, a diamond-shaped lozenge medallion emerges, adorned with detailed floral patterns, further amplifying the rug's sense of sophistication and artistry.
The ornamental corner spandrels mirror the beauty of the central medallion, enhancing the rug’s harmonious composition. These spandrels, rendered in soft shades of red, beige, and navy blue, are embellished with intricate floral vines and scrolling tendrils. They elegantly frame the central field, creating a balance between complexity and cohesion. The interplay of colors and patterns in these spandrels provides a subtle yet striking contrast to the dark field, evoking a sense of romance and timeless beauty.
Encircling the field is an elaborate border design composed of a series of floral meander borders. The primary border features large-scale superimposed red cartouche-style medallions, each embellished with delicate pink blossoms and navy-blue leafy tendrils. These medallions are interspersed with boteh motifs, symbolizing life, fertility, and eternity, which add layers of cultural significance to the design. The outer and inner guard borders, adorned with smaller floral meanders, seamlessly complement the main border, creating a richly detailed frame that highlights the central artistry.
This distressed antique Persian Mahal rug exudes a sense of laid-back luxury and quiet sophistication. Its lovingly time-worn patina, combined with its intricate detailing and rustic charm, makes it a perfect statement piece for interiors that embrace both history and elegance. Whether adorning a grand estate or a cozy, romantic retreat, this woven wonder tells a story of timeless artistry and cultural heritage, offering both beauty and a connection to the past.
