Antique Persian Mahal Carpet

An antique Persian Mahal carpet. A very large scale Herati allover pattern accented by ivory lancet leaves and palmettes decorates the putty field of this super-size rustic west Persian carpet.  The light blue-grey border of ragged palmettes and slanted acanthus leaves is on a much smaller scale and may have been originally used on a more standard room size carpet. The giant Herati pattern works well on this monumental carpet.
