Antique Persian Mahal Carpet

Persia, 1915
11 ft. 5 in. x 17 ft. 5 in.

An antique Persian Mahal carpet. The wine-brown ground displays a Mahal version of the Shah ‘Abbas palmette pattern with three columns of erect forms and intervening arrays of tilted oval motives. This rendition is farther from the “Vase carpet” originals than its Tabriz contemporaries. Lancet leaves dominate the palmettes of the main border of this attractive west Persian village carpet.
