This Mahal antique rug measures 323 x 417 cm, and presents the subdued richness that comes with age and visible wear. The composition remains readable, with an allover floral and geometric field, a defined border, and softened corner ornament, all diffused by extensive fading. Cream, neutral, muted blue, sage, and brown notes sit within a pale, weathered surface that feels calm and layered. Circa 1880 - 1900, it has the quiet presence of an antique rug shaped by time, with high distress that lends texture, softness, and a gently worn finish.
