This Mahal antique rug in wool measures 302 x 424 cm and carries a softly faded composition in brown, cream, white, and neutral taupe with touches of muted rust. A restrained central medallion sits within a floral field, framed by a formal border that remains visible through the high distress and gentle wear. The surface has a weathered, luminous quality, with tonal variation and softened outlines that speak to age rather than loss. Circa 1900 - 1920, this Mahal balances ornament and understatement with a grounded, heritage-rich character. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
