Antique Mahal carpet

Object Description

We offer the service of viewing any of our carpets & rugs in-situ in London, Surrey, Hampshire & the UK by appointment. Request a home visit to see this rich and warm coloured antique Mahal carpet in your own home.  

A great small size and and with a decorative floral design, this antique Mahal carpet is in very good condition. Wonderful navy blue border surrounding a soft terracotta pink field.  The condition is very good indeed with the original ends and selvedges as well as a high lush wool pile. The lack of a central medallion means this is easier to place in a variety of different rooms.  

We have many Mahal’s, Sultanabad’s and Heriz carpets in our showroom in Crondall, Surrey just outside of Farnham.  Please feel free to arrange a time to visit or alternatively we are very happy to show you any of our carpets in your own home.

Object History

Antique Mahal’s or Sultanabad carpets are generally woven with all over patterns consisting of floral designs and soft tones.  Their neighbours in the north of Persia, Heriz were always more geometric in their style – and more often were woven with central motifs.  The all over design Heriz carpets are increasingly hard to find in good condition and with age.

Object Condition

Great soft wool pile and natural colours. Perfect for using in any room with our excellent rug underlay.
