MODERN PERSIAN HAND KNOTTED WOOL RUG, 10' 1'' x 13' 5 '': This beautiful Mahal or Tabriz carpet demonstrates the best in Persian weaving. The colors and the design of this carpet make it a true work of art. The round central medallion drawn in shades of blue, peach, rust red, golden beige, and a deeper red looks like a jewel set on an ivory field that is covered with smaller design motifs drawn in the same colors. The corner spandrels of peach and red draw the eye back to the center. The main border has the same red rust color ground with palmettes and flowers. The guard borders use a deep blue ground to complete the ''frame''. There is a small signature mark at one end of the carpet in the middle of the last guard border. Condition is very good.
