This Mahal antique rug measures 307 x 470 cm, with an aged palette of ivory, cream, and warm beige tempered by soft taupe and faded grey-brown. Its allover floral pattern is deeply worn, leaving traces of the border and field ornament to drift in and out of view. The high distress gives the surface a mellow, clouded character, with visible fading and gentle tonal variation across the weave. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the quiet balance of age, restraint, and decorative softness associated with this Mahal rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
