Mahal / 10762

This wool Mahal reads as a quietly weathered antique rug, its lozenge medallion set into an expansive field of foliate arabesques and palmettes. The colourway is composed of soft neutrals with muted green and aged blue accents, mellowed by surface abrash and consistent medium wear. The wide floral border provides compositional balance while the pile shows gentle, tactile abrading that reveals layered colour beneath. Circa 1885 - 1900. Measurements: 269 x 404 cm. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time. Subtle tonal variation keeps the drawing legible and grounded.
