This Mahal antique rug measures 180 x 472 cm and carries a long, restrained composition softened by age. The field is organised around a floral centre with repeating palmettes and blossoms, framed by a darker border that preserves the rhythm of the original pattern. Cream, brown, taupe, and muted rust tones have mellowed into a washed, chalky surface with visible areas of wear across the field. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the faded elegance and lived-in texture that distinguish a considered antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
