This Mahal antique rug measures 91 x 518 cm and unfolds in a long, slender format with an allover floral design in cream, brown, white, and muted red, touched with faded teal. The border is still present, though softened by age, and the field shows even wear, faded colour, and a gently distressed surface throughout. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reflects the heritage language of the Mahal rug category, where ornament, patina, and restrained contrast come together in an antique rug of quiet character. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
