A pale blue star blooms at the center of this lovely rug, ringed by cream leaves. From across a room the field reads beige, with graceful cream vines curling over it and small blue sprays scattered between them. The star medallion has a cream and muted pink core, and its ring of leaf shapes is outlined in dark blue. A blue pendant points out from it above and below. Cream spandrels sit in the corners of the field, set with blue leaves. The handsome main border is wide, its muted pink ground carrying dark blue flower heads, palmettes and curling leaves. A narrow blue chain guard stripe runs along each side of it. The pile is low across the rug. It suits a quiet room, where the beige, pale blue and muted pink sit easily with one another. At 9'10" by 13'1", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.
Every rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. Hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, vintage, approx. 50 years (1970s). Condition: professionally washed & cleaned. It ships folded and fully insured.
About Mahal rugs
The biggest exporter of oriental carpets from Persia in the late 19th century was the Ziegler company of Arak, the town then called Sultanabad. Mahal rugs are woven in the villages around Arak in central Persia, and they were large and open from the start. They have a wide field, generous spacing between the motifs, and a palette that leans soft rather than saturated. This rug shares that open field, with the cream vines and blue sprays spaced wide around the star and plenty of beige between them. Its colors stay soft as well: beige, cream, pale blue and muted pink, with dark blue picked out in small accents through the field and the border.

Returns & exchangesMade entirely by hand.
Every knot in this rug was tied by hand, one at a time, on an upright loom. A piece like this is the work of two or three weavers sitting side by side for months, wool worked row by row into a pattern carried from memory, its colors softened by decades of light and use. Nothing about it was quick, and no two are ever the same.
The kind of thing that only gets better with age, and quietly passes from one home to the next.
