Mahal / 32165

This Mahal antique rug measures 317 x 411 cm and presents a gently faded allover field of scrolling florals, medallion outlines, and a framed border of palmettes and vinework. The neutral, white, and cream palette has mellowed into ivory, beige, and soft grey-brown notes, with high distress that softens the design and gives the surface a hushed patina. Circa 1920 - 1940, it reads as a quietly layered piece, where wear and fading have become part of the composition. The effect is grounded, tactile, and full of aged character, with a composition that remains legible despite its softened state.
