Mahal / 19200

This Mahal antique rug measures 302 x 455 cm, with an allover floral field that has been softened by age into a layered, tactile composition. The palette shifts between rust red, slate grey, faded ivory, muted gold, and soft blue, with scrolling palmettes and blossom forms woven through the centre and border. Medium distress gives the surface a gently worn, luminous character, allowing the pattern to read with quiet depth. Circa 1900 - 1925, it reflects the grounded elegance and faded richness often sought in a wool Mahal. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
