The antique Persian Mahal rug, dating back to circa 1920, exemplifies the rich tradition of Persian weaving. This particular rug is crafted meticulously with a wool pile on a cotton foundation, ensuring durability and a luxurious texture. The principal color is a deep red, which forms the backdrop for an intricate and balanced design, characteristic of traditional Persian art.
The design of this Mahal rug includes a complex and dense array of floral and geometric patterns. Floral motifs such as blossoms and vines are interwoven with geometric shapes, creating a rich tapestry of visual elements. These elements are symmetrically repeated throughout the rug, ensuring a balanced and harmonious appearance. Complementarily, the pattern incorporates shades of blue, beige, green, white, and yellow, which enhance the visual complexity and depth of the piece.
The rug features a multi-layered border design. The outermost border is a deep navy blue adorned with symmetrical designs in red, white, and beige, forming regular, repeating motifs. An inner border showcases smaller, more detailed geometric and floral motifs on a lighter background, creating a layered effect that frames the central patterns with precision.
This rug does not feature a singular, large central medallion typical of some Persian designs; however, it integrates four prominent floral medallions arranged around the center in a radial pattern, emphasizing its intricate design.
Mahal rugs, known for their historical and cultural significance, originated during the 19th century, reflecting a blend of Persian structural elegance and Indian artistic creativity. The high knot count and use of fine materials like wool underscore the skilled craftsmanship involved in their creation. This particular piece, with its vibrant artistry and meticulous construction, stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Persian textile art.

Don’t take our word for it


Last fall, my husband and I purchased a gorgeous silk from you for our Boston Condo. Based on the quality of your rugs and customer service, we decided to visit you again to purchase rugs for our Connecticut home. Luckily, we received your postcard about the tent sale and came home with two more stunning rugs.


I can't say enough good things about this store, especially Susanne and Breanna. I shop at many rug places as I am an interior designer looking for very specific rugs all the time. No one out there compares to this store and their wonderful Sales associates. Thank you Susanne and Breanna for all your help!


Over the past year we purchased three rugs, as well as carpet from L&A. Our experience could not have been more positive and we love what we purchased.
In addition, every single person
in the showroom was beyond helpful, knowledgeable and kind. It was truly a pleasure. Thank you!


Never have I enjoyed spending money as much as at Landry & Arcari!!! Thank you so much for your attention and guidance. The rug I chose grounds the furniture and makes the living room. It is so beautiful and I really appreciate all of your help.
