Distressed Antique Persian Mahal 8'3" x 11'8" from Esmaili Rugs Collection. This early 20th century antique Persian Mahal with its extravagant designs and impeccable craftsmanship will heighten a room’s sense of place in history with its weathered beauty. The intentionally distressed appearance combined with a highly decorative aesthetic highlights a medley of intricately composed designs creating a rhythmic, majestic cadence throughout its tantalizing composition. A repetitive pattern of geometric motifs and abstract florals cover the field in a subdued palette of grey, rust, green, black and brown. The borders are harmoniously charismatic, with the masterful color shifts among the complementary tones. This antique Mahal and its remarkably refined weave amplifies the magnificent detail throughout the entire composition. It is remarkable something so rich in history and design blends so seamlessly into nearly any decor — even the most minimalist. Distressed rugs are the epitome of eclecticism: eternal and patterned yet somehow subtle and unobtrusive. The relaxed palette and weathered look complement concrete or brick walls, wooden or concrete floors for a more industrial aesthetic.
