Mahal / 20385

This Mahal antique rug, measuring 251 x 345 cm, balances an intricate field of floral geometry with softened medallion forms, rendered in rust, teal, ivory, and muted sage. A narrow inner guard and repeating border motifs frame the composition, while the worn centre has developed a nuanced, atmospheric fade. The wool pile shows visible abrasion and an even, time-softened surface that tempers the pattern without erasing it. The result is grounded, textural, and quietly expressive. Circa 1920 - 1945. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
