This Mahal antique rug measures 234 x 572 cm, with a long, elegant proportion and a softly faded field that lets the pattern read like a memory. The composition is built around layered floral tracery, a refined border, and subtle corner detailing, all rendered in muted neutral and green tones. High distress has softened the contrasts and given the surface a weathered, tactile depth. Circa 1900 - 1920, it carries the quiet patina and lived-in nuance that define the most characterful antique rugs. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
