Mahal / 32167

This Mahal antique rug measures 308 x 489 cm and is rendered in a nuanced palette of ivory, cream, taupe, and warm grey. The composition is softly faded, with an allover field of floral medallions, scrolling vine work, and a slender border that remains legible beneath the wear. High distress has lifted the pattern into a washed, tonal surface, while abrash introduces subtle shifts in colour across the ground. Circa 1910 - 1930, it embodies the measured, lived-in character often found in Mahal weaving, with age and quiet abrasion giving the rug its depth.
