Mahal / 17996

This Mahal antique rug in wool measures 417 x 528 cm and shows the refined fading and high distress that give antique pieces their distinctive softness. The field is filled with an allover floral pattern, framed by a narrow geometric border with repeated ornament and medallion-like accents. Muted rose, terracotta, sage, ivory, taupe, and pale blue tones appear across the worn surface, where contrast has mellowed into a layered patina. Circa 1900 - 1920, it has the understated density and atmospheric character that define a well-aged Mahal rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
