This Mahal rug was handwoven during the second quarter of the 20th century.
This rug features an all-over pattern of interlocked palmettes in spectacular hues of multiple blues, greens, coral, yellow, and soft purple on a rare ivory ground. The field design is a well-rendered variation of the Mina Khani design. Perfectly framed by a vibrant navy main border featuring palmettes and serrated leaves. Various distinct minor borders add interesting detail and interest to the piece.
In very good condition, with some areas which have been properly and professionally rewoven. The pile is thick but low, with a dense but malleable handle.
