Antique Persian Mahal Room Size Carpet

Asymmetric wool knots on a cotton foundation. This classic Mahal features a grey field, neatly and uniformly covered with a medium-scale allover Herati design of open diamonds, rosettes, palmettes, and 'fish' leaves. The madder rust main border features symmetric oval palmettes and split floral forms. The field corners appear lighter and more open, but this is merely an optical illusion. A versatile carpet suitable for almost any space or décor.
