Mahal / 20950

This Mahal antique rug, 236 x 386 cm, presents an all-over floral field with medallion-like forms, scrolling vines, and a time-softened border. The palette moves between brown, cream, white, and muted grey, creating a hushed contrast that reads as both aged and balanced. High distress has mellowed the drawing across the surface, allowing the motif to emerge in layers of fade and wear. Circa 1900 - 1920, this wool rug has a quietly architectural presence, with a worn finish that lends the composition its depth, tactility, and sense of history.
