Generous in scale and quietly luminous, this Mahal Ziegler antique rug measures 279 x 528 cm. A muted neutral and cream ground is punctuated by a warm red floral border and white accents, the composition composed of palmettes and arabesques set in a broad lattice. Low wear and subtle abrash give the wool fibre a soft texture and gentle patina, maintaining clarity of pattern across its length. The piece reads as an elegant, restrained example of the Mahal Ziegler idiom. Circa 1885 - 1925 The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
