Mahal / 16683

This Mahal antique rug, measuring 358 x 523 cm, presents an allover field of repeated rosettes and floral lattice work, enclosed by layered borders that still read clearly beneath the wear. The palette blends brown, cream, white, and muted teal, with rust tones at the edge and a faded centre that softens the whole composition. Wool gives the surface a tactile, grounded feel, while the medium distress level adds depth and visible age. Circa 1900 - 1920, it has the restrained complexity and mellow finish that define a well-worn antique rug.
