This Mahal antique rug measures 320 x 399 cm, with a light ground worked in cream, neutral tones, faded blush, sand, and soft blue. Its composition centres on a worn medallion field, where floral vines and scrolling palmettes have softened into a layered, atmospheric pattern. The surrounding border remains legible but gently diminished, echoing the rug’s overall high distress and well-aged surface. Circa 1900 - 1920, it holds a calm, timeworn elegance, with faded colour and broad wear that give the design a quietly diffused, heritage-rich character. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
