Mahal / 32135

This Mahal antique rug measures 328 x 556 cm and unfolds in a restrained palette of cream, ivory, taupe, and brown, with muted grey notes dispersed across the surface. The design reads as a softened central medallion surrounded by floral and arabesque detail, framed by a worn border whose motifs have blurred with age. High distress has lifted the contrast and left the composition beautifully diffuse, with a calm, timeworn presence. Circa 1925 - 1940, it reflects the layered character and graceful fading that define Mahal rugs. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
