This Mahal antique rug measures 318 x 526 cm and shows a faded field of floral tracery and medallion fragments, softened into an understated, layered composition. Cream, ivory, taupe, and muted grey notes create a restrained palette, while the border still offers a delicate frame around the worn centre. The high distress level lends visible texture, with broad areas of fading and softened pattern definition across the surface. Circa 1900 - 1915, this rug reflects the calm patina and time-worn character often found in a well-aged antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
