Traditional hand-woven 100% wool Mahal rug featuring a crisp ivory field with three prominent rust red octagonal medallions connected by stylized angular vines, surrounded by a wide ivory border with geometric turtle motifs in red and navy blue, SKU 53013, size 10′0″ × 13′6″. Reference image: 53013top_2.jpg
This Traditional Mahal rug embraces the striking, highly structured side of Persian village weaving. The expansive field showcases a spectacularly organized, rhythmic layout characterized by a column of bold, repeating octagonal medallions interconnected by stylized, angular vines and geometric floral motifs. The masterful composition is defined by a luminous, crisp ivory foundation, which provides a dramatic, high-contrast canvas for the vibrantly detailed motifs woven in rich rust red, deep navy blue, and subtle touches of sage green. A beautifully detailed, wide main border featuring classic geometric "turtle" or crab-like motifs perfectly frames the monumental piece. The incredibly sturdy, densely packed wool pile characteristic of the Mahal weave creates a substantial, highly tactile canvas that effortlessly brings historical warmth, dynamic pattern, and spirited character to grand transitional spaces.
Hand-woven in 100% premium wool, this rug offers an exceptionally durable, steadfast foundation with a rich, comforting presence underfoot. Measuring a magnificent 10′0″ × 13′6″, it serves as a stunning, highly functional anchor for grand formal dining rooms, expansive living areas, or luxurious great rooms, bringing incredibly detailed geometric beauty and unparalleled hand-made craftsmanship to the heart of the home.

Perfect for traditional, southwestern, warm eclectic, or modern farmhouse interiors. The monumental 10'0"x13'6" scale and resilient construction make it the ultimate captivating accent piece for a sprawling open-concept living area, a large great room, or beneath a grand dining table. The crisp geometric motifs and vibrant, high-contrast tones pair beautifully with natural hardwood floors, rustic wood finishes, rich leather upholstery, and brass fixtures to act as a bold, anchoring focal point that seamlessly brings a space to life with architectural elegance.
Care
Vacuum regularly without a beater bar (suction only) to protect the fine wool fibers and preserve the exceptionally dense weave. A high-quality rug pad is strongly recommended to prevent slipping and provide cushioning. Rotate occasionally to ensure even wear. Professional cleaning is highly recommended.

About this Weave
Mahal rugs, historically woven in the Arak region of west-central Iran, are celebrated globally for their incredibly durable construction and relaxed interpretations of classical Persian motifs. While often known for sweeping all-over botanical patterns, Mahal weavers also crafted bold, highly geometric designs that carry immense graphic power. Characterized by thicker piles, remarkably resilient wool, and a striking use of deeply saturated, earthy palettes—such as the prominent octagonal medallions and geometric borders seen here—these masterpieces offer an exceptionally robust foundation. They are perfectly suited for adding striking architectural pattern, historical depth, and warm, soulful character to the most highly trafficked areas of today's refined interiors.
