This Mahal antique rug measures 358 x 495 cm and shows the diffuse, weathered character of a well-aged wool piece. Its floral field is worked with palmettes, scrolling stems, and small medallion details, all held within a classic border that remains legible despite the high distress. Neutral, brown, and red tones have softened into a muted, earthy register, with visible fading that adds depth rather than interrupting the design. Circa 1900 - 1930, this Mahal rug carries the calm, timeworn rhythm and decorative density associated with the form. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
