This is an authentic circa 1910 Mahal Golden Persian wool rug from Iran. The rug has a rare gold or golden color with near full wool pile being complete and having natural dyes. The hand woven 110+ year rug is truly a show stopper. The Mahals are hand-woven Persian rugs made in the region known as the Mahallat, which is outside of Arak, the capital city of the province of Arak (Markazi), which sits in central Northwestern Iran. The history of this region is very rich and its rug weaving industry dates back many centuries. This is a transitional rug, with rare antique age dating to circa 1910 in very unusual and rare gold or golden color. The rug measures 10 foot 9 inches by 13 foot 10 inches in very good condition.
