Mahal / 19628

This Mahal antique rug measures 236 x 353 cm and presents an all-over floral lattice rendered in mellow brown, cream, and white tones. A structured border of repeating floral motifs and narrow guards encloses the field, where the design has softened into a layered, timeworn surface with visible fading and medium distress. The wool pile retains a dry, tactile character, with worn edges and attenuated contrast adding depth rather than distraction. Circa 1900 - 1915, it offers the quiet symmetry and decorative restraint that define the Mahal tradition. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
