This Mahal antique rug measures 251 x 574 cm, with an elongated composition washed in ivory, cream, taupe, and subdued hints of blue-grey and rust. The allover floral pattern is heavily faded, leaving a tactile, layered surface where detail appears and recedes with age. A worn border remains visible, lightly containing the composition and echoing the rug’s quiet structure. Circa 1920 - 1940, it presents the softened colour, patina, and character associated with a heavily distressed Mahal. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time. Subtle tonal variation keeps the drawing legible and grounded.
