Mahal / 19190

This Mahal antique rug measures 262 x 358 cm and shows a layered palette of brick red, faded turquoise, rust, indigo, and muted ivory. The design centres on a large medallion set within an all-over field of scrolling arabesques, then enclosed by a finely drawn floral border with narrow guard bands. Wear is light overall, though the surface has softened with age, giving the composition a mellow, atmospheric finish. Circa 1920 - 1940, this wool Mahal reflects the decorative balance and heritage character associated with the category, with colour and pattern still clearly legible beneath the patina.
