Mahal / 10973

This Mahal reads as an antique rug softened by time; the wool field is a wash of neutral and muted blue, with a faint central medallion and scrolling floral vines. A palmette and rosette border frames the composition in cream and navy, the colours mellowed by even abrash and medium surface wear. Areas of patchy pile loss and gentle fraying at the edges contribute to a lived-in texture that feels quietly domestic and tactile. The overall colourway is restrained, with small rose accents punctuating the composition across its 325 x 414 cm expanse. Circa 1880 - 1900.
