This Mahal antique rug measures 315 x 396 cm and presents a layered floral composition softened by time. A red field is traced with blue, cream, and white scrolling vines, medallion-like blossoms, and small palmettes, while the border offers a cooler blue framework with rosettes and repeat details. The wool surface shows medium distress, with visible fading and an aged, gently worn character that softens the contrast across the design. Circa 1910 - 1930, it balances ornament and restraint, retaining the familiar Mahal rhythm in a quietly weathered palette. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
