Antique Mahal Persian Rug c. Late 19th Century 9 x 12 Kuba rug Featuring a unique stepped medallionWoven in the Arak region of central Persia during the late 19th century, this antique Mahal rug features a beautifully spaced allover pattern of stylized palmettes, rosettes, and leafy vines drifting across a rich indigo blue ground.
