Mahal / 19668

This Mahal antique rug measures 335 x 521 cm and pairs deep blue with madder red, with teal, ivory, and muted gold woven through the design. The composition is classically ordered, with an allover floral lattice in the field and a richly detailed border that gives the whole piece a composed, architectural feel. Wool brings a soft, tactile surface, and the low distress leaves the drawing intact while allowing the age to show in the gently softened finish. Circa 1895 - 1915, this rug reflects the balanced ornament and settled elegance often associated with Mahal rugs.
