Mahal / 10991

A wool Mahal on a warm rust ground, 264 x 318 cm. A finely drawn allover lattice of florals and small rosettes is held by multiple guard borders, the design softened by cream and neutral highlights and discreet blue accents. The piece retains low distress and an even pile; subtle abrash gives the field a layered colouration without significant loss. Texturally articulate and quietly aged, this antique rug reads as a worked textile with measured wear and intact border definition. Circa 1900 - 1920 The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
