An absolutely exquisite antique Persian Mahal carpet, with the rarest of all pale blue fields. We have seen probably less than 15 pale blue ground Mahal carpets, and this one is just wonderful.
It is also a lovely small, usable size. The design is very similar to the Ziegler & Co production which followed, and it is very likely that carpets like this one would have influenced the Ziegler & Co colours and design construction. This carpet was woven in around 1880, which makes it 140 years old, but it remains in very good condition.
Please request a home visit to see this antique carpet in-situ, where you can select a convenient day and time for us to visit. Or book in a visit to our barn showroom in Crondall, Surrey we would love to welcome you here.
