Mahal / 22345

This Mahal antique rug measures 287 x 376 cm and has the softened, weathered presence that defines an enduring classical weave. The neutral ground is lifted by white and cream, with muted blue and faded terracotta woven through an allover floral lattice. A gently detailed border encloses the field, carrying palmettes and rosettes that remain visible despite the rug’s medium wear and broad fading. Circa 1900 - 1930, it holds a quiet, layered character, where age has mellowed the drawing and left the composition luminous, worn, and composed. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
