Mahal / 19837

This Mahal antique rug measures 333 x 518 cm and shows the mellowed surface and softened detail that give aged wool such presence. The field is washed in muted rose, blue, cream, and neutral tones, with floral motifs dispersed across an allover layout and a border that holds the composition in place. Areas of fading and abrasion lend the rug a silken, lived-in look, while the design remains legible and layered. Circa 1900 - 1930, it reflects the generous scale and painterly restraint often associated with Mahal weaving, shaped by time into something quietly atmospheric.
