Mahal / 32023

This Mahal antique rug, measuring 315 x 442 cm, presents an allover floral field with a gently worn, softly atmospheric character. Rust red is balanced by cream, ivory, pale blue, and olive accents, while the border provides a calm architectural frame around the busy interior. The medallion presence is understated, letting the blossoms and palmettes take the lead across the surface. Medium distress has softened the palette and blurred the pattern in places, giving the rug a lived-in depth. Circa 1915 - 1930. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
