Mahal / 21637

This Mahal antique rug measures 208 x 450 cm and is woven in wool with a richly layered, time-softened surface. A deep navy field carries an all-over floral design in muted teal, brown, cream, and faded red, while the border grounds the composition with dense ornamental detail. The wear is visible and balanced, with fading and abrasion that lend the rug a mellow, lived-in character. Circa 1910 - 1940, it reflects the grand, decorative language associated with Mahal rugs, translated here into a long, elegant format with atmospheric depth. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
