This Mahal antique rug, measuring 371 x 533 cm, presents a muted palette of rust, sage, cream, brown, and navy, softened by extensive age and wear. A broad floral field unfolds beneath a gently worn central presence, while the border holds a rhythmic sequence of stylised blossoms and geometric detail. Circa 1900 - 1925, the wool surface has a faded, tactile look, with clear abrasion and softened pattern edges that speak to long use. The overall effect is restrained, atmospheric, and distinctly Mahal in its relaxed formal balance. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
