Woven in western Persia, this rug features a striking allover geometric composition of large-scale, angular motifs rendered in a richly saturated brick-red ground, beautifully contrasted by navy, sky blue, soft pink, emerald green, warm brown, and golden yellow accents. The balanced, open layout—hallmark of classic Mahal Sultanabads—creates a sense of architectural rhythm and visual clarity. A bold navy blue border frames the field with complementary geometric forms, enhancing the rug’s presence while maintaining harmony with the central design. Ziegler Mahal Sultanabad carpets were originally created for Western tastes, blending traditional Persian weaving with a modern, decorative sensibility. Their soft, lustrous wool, expansive scale, and sophisticated palette have made them very desirable.
