Mahal / 17582

This Mahal antique rug, measuring 307 x 396 cm, is woven in wool with a nuanced palette of rust red, cream, muted green, and navy. Its densely worked field carries scrolling floral vines, palmette forms, and medallion-like elements, all enclosed by a pale border edged with small geometric and floral motifs. The composition feels balanced and quietly intricate, while the surface shows low distress and gentle age-softening across the colour. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the layered restraint and heritage character associated with a fine Mahal. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
