Mahal / 21571

This Mahal antique rug measures 411 x 518 cm and reflects the atmospheric wear of a well-aged textile. Woven in wool, it presents an allover field of compact floral and geometric motifs, softened by high distress and visible fading across the surface. Rust, brown, cream, ivory, and muted grey tones blend into a restrained, layered palette, while the border remains lightly defined at the edges. Circa 1920 - 1940, it has the gently eroded character and quiet balance often associated with Mahal weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
