A Mahal measuring 244 x 371 cm in wool, this antique rug presents an all-over floral lattice in muted cream and brown with a softened palmette border. Surface wear and medium distress have produced gentle abrash and a low, tactile pile that reads as a quiet patina across the pattern. Repeating rosettes and disciplined arabesques remain legible beneath even fading; edges are softened but intact. The wool fibre remains resilient, offering a measured, calm expression of traditional craft. Circa 1895 - 1915 The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
