This Mahal antique rug in wool measures 284 x 376 cm and presents a subdued palette of cream, white, muted blue, taupe, and soft brown. The floral field and border have worn into a diffuse, layered composition, with the pattern softened by age and handled with notable restraint. High distress brings visible fading, low contrast, and a weathered surface that feels settled and tactile. Circa 1910 - 1930, it offers the quiet depth and lived-in character associated with Mahal rugs, where ornament, wear, and colour remain in delicate balance. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
