Antique Persian Mahal Oversize Carpet

No. 31659
Persia, Early 20th Century
13 ft. 6 in. x 24 ft. 11 in.
(4.08 x 7.53 m)

A wool pile of asymmetric knots on a cotton foundation. This exceptionally imposing village piece shows a brilliant and warm red madder field overlaid with a medium-scale Harshang overall design accented in cream, straw, pale green, pale blue, and a touch of dark blue. Ragged palmettes, rosettes, leaves, stem segments and pairs of small vase-like flowers are evenly distributed in a pattern that seems to go on forever. The royal blue strip style main border features reversing turtle palmettes accented in a good yellow. There are five minor borders with reversing fan palmettes. All-in-all a clearly bespoke and warm carpet of extraordinary dimensions.
