Old Handmade Persian Mahal Carpet – 280 × 180 cm (9 ft 2 in × 5 ft 11 in)
Traditional Medallion Design • Fine Lamb’s Wool • Rich Tribal Colours • Professionally Hand Washed
This striking handmade Persian Mahal carpet is an attractive village weaving dating from approximately 30–40 years ago. It features a bold traditional medallion design, surrounded by angular geometric motifs that give the carpet a strong decorative presence and authentic Persian character.
Measuring 280 × 180 cm (approximately 9 ft 2 in × 5 ft 11 in), it is an excellent size for a living room, dining area, study, entrance hall, bedroom or beneath a medium-sized dining table.
The carpet has a warm coral-red and terracotta field, centred by a large stepped medallion in soft blue, deep navy, brick red and muted gold. Additional geometric medallions and stylised floral motifs extend through the field, while dark navy corner designs provide contrast and definition.
A narrow decorative border in muted gold, olive green, red and navy frames the composition without overpowering the bold central design. The clear colours and spacious arrangement of motifs make this carpet particularly suitable for both traditional and eclectic interiors.
Hand knotted from very fine lamb’s wool on a cotton foundation, the carpet has a soft handle and strong, durable construction. It remains in excellent condition and is suitable for regular use in busy areas of the home.
The carpet has been professionally hand washed and is clean, fresh and ready for immediate use or display.
