This Mahal antique rug, measuring 305 x 414 cm, is worked in a muted palette of cream, white, faded blush, taupe, and blue-grey. Its allover floral lattice and rounded medallion forms are set within a gently faded border, creating a composition that feels both structured and elusive. High distress has softened the contrast across the field, with worn areas and pale abrasion giving the surface a calm, weathered depth. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the measured elegance and lived-in character that make antique rugs so compelling. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
