Fine Mahal Carpet North West Persia Classical allover design rich colours soft lustrous wool

This Persian Mahal carpet, displays a great sense of fluidity and movement in this bold rendition, complementing the rare large size of the carpet. A formal arrangement of a column of large palmettes based on Classical Persian prototypes. This arrangement is an individual adaptation from Classical tradition, and is symmetrical on the vertical 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.

This oversized Persian Mahal carpet represents an outstanding example of 20th Century Mahal artistry combining Classical tradition with characteristic Mahal ingenuity and originality. The style of design and colours used are very closely related to those often seen in Persian Ziegler carpets of the early 20th century.
