Mahal / 11709

This Mahal is an antique rug in wool with a muted palette of terracotta, grey and ivory that reads as an aged, tactile surface. The composition pairs a compact floral lattice in repeating registers with a wide border of rosettes and arabesques. Medium distress and even abrash give the piece a softened pile and a worn, lived-in colourway that emphasises the weave's subtle patterning. The rug's layered surface suggests measured use and handcrafted character. Circa 1900 - 1920. Size: 366 x 404 cm. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
