Description: Vintage Mahal Persian area rug
This rug was woven in the Arak region adjacent to the rug making areas of the Sarouk/ Sarough carpets. Mahals are reminiscent of the Ziegler carpets and rugs that were made in the late 19th century in the Arak region with the typical overall large floral sprays and the larger, single large flowers repeated in the border around the rug.
This is a wonderful one of a kind piece that can be used on the floor for many decades to come.
