(Decorative) This dramatic antique Persian Mahal carpet offers an extremely attractive warm carnelian red. A mature, inviting base tone, it effectively supports a striking, overscale pattern of fabulously abstract palmettes and intriguing vines arranged in dramatic ivory diamonds. The celebrative color palette also includes vibrant tones of cobalt blue, teal green and ivory delightfully counterpoised with the rich field of this singular turn-of-the-20th-century Persian village carpet. In very good floor condition, the composition is gracefully framed by a balanced, midnight blue border.
