A vintage Persian Mahal carpet. A blood-red field is closely covered by a dynamic pattern of giant leaves, hexagons, angular gooseneck arabesques and a welter of devices hard to name, but easy to recognize. In contrast to the dynamic field, the pale green geometric turtle palmette border quietly recedes. This vibrant room size carpet has a discreet design center, so it is not really a true all over piece, but it is versatile regarding furnishing placement.
