Mahal / 19246

This Mahal antique rug in wool measures 292 x 399 cm and shows the kind of settled surface that gives vintage design its depth. A rust red field is worked with muted blue, olive, cream, and brown, forming an all-over floral layout of scrolling vines, palmettes, and medallion-like blossoms. The border is still readable, yet gently softened by age, with visible abrasion and faded passages across the pile. Circa 1900 - 1920, it holds a balanced, heritage-led rhythm, where intricate patterning and worn texture sit together with calm assurance. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
