Mahal / 20391

This Mahal antique rug measures 251 x 351 cm and unfolds in an airy composition of floral arabesques and scrolling vinework, drawn in ivory, cream, and muted blue. The field remains light and open, while the rust-toned border introduces depth with repeating medallions and finely worked ornamental bands. Medium distress softens the drawing across the surface, giving the piece a gently worn, tactile presence without losing its formal balance. Circa 1915 - 1930, it reflects the quiet complexity and time-softened character often sought in a Mahal. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
