{"product_id":"red-navy-blue-persian-mahal-geometric-medallion-rug-396x299cm","title":"Red, Navy Blue \u0026 Cream Persian Mahal Geometric Medallion Rug 396 × 299 cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eA striking handmade Persian Mahal rug featuring a strong, angular central medallion with distinctly geometric contours. The expansive red field is densely decorated with repeating geometric and floral motifs, while deep navy corner sections provide bold contrast around the central composition. A substantial navy patterned border completes the design and gives the rug a strong traditional Persian character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRich, saturated red unquestionably dominates the main field, complemented by deep navy blue and softer cream and ivory tones. Noticeable accents of light blue, turquoise, teal, golden yellow and brown introduce further depth and variation throughout the medallion, field and border. Handmade in Iran with a wool pile on a cotton foundation, this approximately 50-year-old Persian rug has an authentic time-worn character that reflects its age, traditional craftsmanship and history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasuring approximately 396 × 299cm, this is a substantial statement rug particularly well suited to a formal living room or large lounge. A three-seater sofa positioned at the rear with two occasional chairs to the sides would create a balanced furniture arrangement while allowing the angular central medallion and generous areas of the patterned field to remain visible. Its bold colouring and naturally aged character also work beautifully in large farmhouses, safari lodges and interiors featuring antique, vintage or collected furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRug Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRug Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Persian Mahal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Iran\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate Age:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handmade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wool pile on a cotton foundation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 396 × 299cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rectangular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Geometric Medallion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePredominant Colours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red, Navy Blue and Cream \/ Ivory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Colours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light Blue, Turquoise \/ Teal, Golden Yellow and Brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Refurbished with age-related wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSale Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Auction — one unique piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAge, Condition \u0026amp; Refurbishment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe appeal of these older handmade rugs lies in their authentic aged character. Unlike a new rug, each piece carries the natural characteristics of decades of use, including areas of wear, variations in colour and texture, fading and other signs of age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe degree of wear varies from rug to rug. Some pieces may display considerably more worn areas than others, and this is reflected in the individual rug's condition and auction pricing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach rug has been professionally cleaned and refurbished as far as reasonably possible, while preserving its original character and naturally aged appearance. Where required, refurbishment may also include repairs or restoration to areas such as the fringes, edges or foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRefurbishment does not mean that the rug has been restored to an as-new condition. Areas of wear, previous repairs, variations in texture, fading and other age-related characteristics may remain visible and form part of the rug's individual character and appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese time-worn handmade rugs are particularly popular in farmhouses, safari lodges, luxury tented camps and interiors featuring antique, vintage or collected furniture. Older rugs of this nature are becoming increasingly difficult to source, making each one an individual piece with its own history, colouring, pattern and degree of wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBefore Bidding\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease review all product photographs carefully before placing a bid. The photographs shown are of the actual rug being auctioned and provide the best representation of its individual condition, colouring and degree of wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you prefer the uniform appearance and finish of a new rug, the naturally worn character of these older handmade rugs may not be suitable for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional photographs or videos can be requested should you wish to examine the rug more closely. The rug may also be viewed in person at Heriz Gallery, Unit 1, The Straight Shopping Centre, 78 The Straight Avenue, Fourways, prior to bidding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note: Measurements are approximate due to the handmade nature and age of these rugs. Slight variations in dimensions, shape and symmetry may occur. Colours may also appear slightly different depending on lighting, photography and individual screen settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach auction rug is a one-of-a-kind piece offered in its existing refurbished condition as represented in the product photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heriz Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67597117030766,"sku":"60150","price":36980.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/1669\/1310\/files\/hg-60150-1.jpg?v=1790697940","url":"https:\/\/herizgallery.co.za\/products\/red-navy-blue-persian-mahal-geometric-medallion-rug-396x299cm","provider":"Heriz Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
