This handmade Persian Mahal rug presents a bold navy field filled with sweeping floral vines and a classic central medallion. The generous 7'2 x 11'1 size makes it ideal for living rooms, dining areas, and large seating spaces where traditional character and rich color are desired. Mahal rugs are known for their decorative scale, open layouts, and strong contrast, offering both visual impact and everyday durability.
Design and Motifs
The design features an ornate ivory and red medallion surrounded by scrolling palmettes, curling arabesques, and blooming rosettes. The floral elements are arranged symmetrically across the field, creating balance while allowing the navy background to provide depth and contrast. Each motif is crisply drawn, giving the rug a refined yet lively presence.
Border and Framing
A wide red main border frames the composition with repeating floral bouquets and vine scrolls. Guard borders in navy and light blue add definition and structure, helping the field feel grounded and architectural.

Navy blue dominates the field, creating a deep backdrop
Red defines the borders and medallion accents
Ivory highlights floral outlines and central details

Materials and Craftsmanship
Hand knotted from wool, this rug has a dense pile and sturdy foundation typical of Mahal weaving. The wool feels resilient underfoot and holds color beautifully, making it suitable for both formal and everyday spaces.
