Antique Persian Mahal Large Room Size Carpet

A wool pile of asymmetric knots on a cotton foundation, this tonally characteristic Mahal village carpet features a red madder field densely overlaid with layered vinery, a wide variety of palmettes, oval rosettes, open diamonds along the central axis, and floret sprays. Pale and dark blue, pale green, ecru, straw, and rust appear among the accent hues. The straw-strip style border is decorated with delicate vinery, palmettes, and oval rosettes.
