Mahal / 31241

This Mahal antique rug measures 157 x 394 cm, with a long, refined silhouette and a delicately faded surface in cream, ivory, beige, taupe, and muted terracotta. The allover floral design is softened by age, creating a layered field of scrolling forms, while the border reads as a quiet framework of worn ornament and subtle contrast. High distress is evident throughout, with abrasion, fading, and gentle tonal shift adding texture and depth. Circa 1920 - 1940, it reflects the hushed, timeworn character often valued in a Mahal rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
