This Mahal antique rug, measuring 130 x 483 cm, presents an allover floral composition with a narrow red border and a field that has mellowed beautifully with age. Cream, brown, faded red, soft blue, and pale green tones sit within a well-worn surface, giving the piece a layered, tactile quality. The repeating motif pattern remains legible beneath the medium distress, with softened contrasts and visible fading across the centre. Circa 1920 - 1940, it holds the quiet patina and elongated scale that define its enduring visual appeal. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
