Persian Mahal Extra Large Carpet
Rug #5078Persian Mahal Extra Large Carpet Allover design Wool Pile
The field with an all over design displaying columns of star flower heads linked by an angular vine lattice overlaid with palmettes and flower heads issuing small buds, within a contrasting, complementary border enclosing continuous quatrefoil medallions, star flower heads and hooked floral cartouches issuing sets of curled serrated leaves, plain surround.
This Persian Mahal carpet displays a wonderful formal design, stately in appearance presenting a fine rendition of traditional flora forms, complementing the rare large size of the carpet. The formal arrangement of large star shaped flower heads and similar smaller flower heads based on classical Persian models which are linked by an angular vine lattice. This arrangement is a highly individual adaptation from classical tradition and is symmetrical on the vertical and horizontal axis. As is often the case, the pattern is enhanced by the infinite repeat device where motifs are partially hidden by the border, suggesting that the pattern is never ending. The varying scales of the pattern details gives great depth and movement to the composition, ensuring that every element is easy to read.
This magnificent Persian Mahal carpet displays a range of outstanding unique colours. The wonderful harmonic colours have been juxtaposed in such a way as to maximise the visual impact of the composition and are presented on a light background. The contrasting border superbly compliments the central field area in terms of scale balance and colour harmony. The angular drawn floral elements are presented in similar colours to those forms seen in the main field and are presented in a spacious arrangement which further compliments the main field design in terms of depth and scale. As is characteristic with Mahal carpets, the whole patterned composition is framed within a plain surround, and as is the case here is normally the same colour as the field colour. The quality of the wool is exceptional. Such wool quality is only seen in the very best of Mahal weaving and is extremely durable and long lasting.
There is no doubting that this oversized Persian Mahal carpet represents an outstanding example of Mahal woven art combining classical tradition with characteristic Mahal ingenuity and originality, dating to the mid-20th century. Clearly woven by an accomplished skilled weaver.
