Antique Persian Mahal Carpet
No. 18090
Persia, 1920
9 ft. 9 in. x 12 ft. 1 in.
(2.95 x 3.65 m)
A vintage Persian Mahal carpet. Rosettes with many straight, diagonal leaf rays appear in the brickfield and, on a smaller scale, on the medium blue main border. Open lozenges in the field have a vaguely Herati aroma, but no Herati leaves appear here. The allover pattern is textile-derived, but here the Mahal-area weavers have geometrized it.
- Hand-knotted in Persia
