Vintage Persian Mahal Large Carpet

A wool pile of asymmetric knots on a cotton foundation. The briskly saturated red ground presents a dense design with octogrammes along the center, curled acanthus leaves, rosettes within leaf brackets, and fleurette stems. Accent tones include straw, sand, green, and medium-dark blue. The strip-style light khaki border features blue palmettes, red rosettes, and red open cartouches.
