This Mahal antique rug measures 335 x 503 cm and presents a subdued palette of neutral taupe, cream, white, muted green and pale grey. The design is softly eroded, with delicate floral patterning, a faded central field and only the faintest suggestion of a border. High distress gives the surface a layered, timeworn quality, where wear and wash have turned detail into atmosphere. Circa 1900 - 1920, this piece reflects the quiet balance and heritage character often associated with an aged Mahal. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
