This Mahal antique rug measures 259 x 358 cm and presents a quietly faded, tactile surface with the gentleness of age held across every part of the design. A border in muted blue and neutral tones carries floral rosettes and narrow guard bands, enclosing a field of softened rust, ivory and taupe. The pattern remains legible but beautifully worn, with high distress and visible fading that lend the rug an airy, layered quality. Circa 1880 - 1900, this Mahal reads as heritage pattern distilled through time. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
