Mahal / 18481

This Mahal antique rug measures 251 x 373 cm and is drawn in an allover floral composition softened by age into a nuanced palette of cream, brown, sage, and muted blue. Layered blossoms, scrolling vines, and a detailed border give the field a measured cadence, while visible wear brings a gentle patina across the surface. Wool adds an earthy texture and a quietly matte finish. Circa 1880 - 1900, it reflects the calm, expansive character associated with Mahal weaving, with medium distress that leaves the design softened but still clearly defined.
