This Mahal antique rug measures 203 x 318 cm and carries a softly faded palette of deep blue-grey, coral, cream, and muted terracotta. The composition is anchored by a central floral arrangement with urn-like details and boteh-inspired ornament, all enclosed by a blossom-filled border that feels richly layered yet settled by age. Medium distress lends the surface a lived-in tactility, with visible wear, gentle fading, and subtle colour variation throughout. Circa 1880 - 1900, it offers the restrained character and heritage presence associated with an antique rug of this type.
