Mahal / 20405

This Mahal antique rug, 351 x 671 cm, presents a softened field of faded blue, neutral tones, cream, and muted red, with scrolling floral motifs that drift across the surface in a layered, painterly way. The border is gently worn and less contrasty, allowing the composition to feel open and relaxed rather than rigid. In wool with medium distress, it shows visible age, faded colour, and a textured surface that speaks to long wear. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the broad proportions and floral language often associated with Mahal design, while retaining an understated, lived-in character.
