This Mahal antique rug measures 356 x 617 cm and presents a broad, subdued field of floral ornament softened by age. The border remains readable in faded blue, cream, and quiet rust tones, while the centre dissolves into a delicate mix of ivory, pale taupe, and greyed highlights. High distress gives the surface a gently erased quality, allowing the pattern to feel both present and ephemeral. Circa 1900 - 1920, it speaks to the calm, layered character that defines a Mahal, where faded detail and worn texture create a composed, heritage-rich presence.
