Mahal / 11158

A sizeable Mahal in a warm red wool, its all-over floral field composed of palmettes and trailing sprays that settle into a mellow, tactile patina. The narrow guard borders with repeated rosette elements frame the softened centre, where cream, pink and white motifs sit against a gently abrased ground. Wear is modest and evenly distributed, lending the piece a calm, well-loved character while preserving clarity of design. This antique rug measures 269 x 330 cm and retains low distress with intact edges. Circa 1900 - 1915. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
