This Mahal antique rug measures 330 x 495 cm and carries an allover floral composition in rust, brown, cream, and muted teal. The centre field is softly worn, allowing the pattern to settle into a nuanced, painterly surface, while the border remains distinctly articulated with layered floral detail. Medium distress brings visible fading, abrasion, and softened edges, adding to its aged presence. Circa 1940 - 1960, it offers the restrained warmth and visual depth often associated with Mahal rugs. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
