Mahal / 25510

This Mahal antique rug measures 307 x 411 cm and presents a faded allover floral arrangement framed by a layered border and gently weathered guard bands. Cream, ivory, taupe, soft grey, and muted blue sit in a subdued balance, while the pattern has been softened by extensive wear and age. The result is a calm, diffuse surface with an understated sense of movement and depth. Circa 1925 - 1955, it captures the quiet character of the Mahal tradition in a highly distressed, elegantly timeworn form. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
