This Mahal antique rug, measuring 213 x 518 cm, unfolds in a long format with a faded floral field and a well-defined border that still reads through the wear. The composition blends cream, brown, and muted blue with traces of warmer colour, giving the surface a hazy, layered quality. Its medium distress softens the ornament without erasing it, allowing the Mahal design language to feel gently distilled by time. Circa 1915 - 1930, it has the quiet presence of an antique rug shaped by age and use. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
