This Mahal was handwoven during the early 20th Century.
It features a dense and rhythmic allover pattern of palmettes, rosettes, and roving vinery set against a richly saturated madder red field. Lush floral clusters and shield-like medallions in blues, golds, ivory, and greens are symmetrically arrayed across the surface, producing a mesmerizing, layered composition. The deep indigo border is animated with bold palmettes and angular vine scrolls, grounding the exuberant interior with contrast and balance. This carpet’s large format and harmonious palette make it ideal for a dramatic room-setting or formal interior. With its saturated natural dyes, sturdy village handle, and deeply patinated wool pile, this is an outstanding example of antique Mahal weaving at scale.
In very good condition with evenly worn pile.
