Mahal / 11039

This Mahal in wool presents a softened field of large palmettes and floral medallions, its muted red and warm brown tones mellowed to a gentle palette. The composition is defined by scrolling vines and a series of guard borders with rosette repeats; wear has introduced even abrash and a low, tactile pile that reads as patina across the centre. Visible repairs and edge wear are consistent with medium distress, preserving the rug's quiet presence and historic surface. Circa 1900 - 1915. Measures 272 x 353 cm. This antique rug retains a considered, tactile character.
