This Mahal antique rug, measuring 442 x 493 cm, pairs a dark central field with branching ivory vines, clustered florals, and a structured border in muted red and pale detailing. The overall effect is richly patterned but gently aged, with softened contrast that gives the surface a nuanced, tactile calm. Notes of faded teal, blush, soft gold, and ivory animate the composition without disturbing its grounded balance. Circa 1940 - 1955, it reflects the character of a decorative antique rug with visible wear, mellowed colour, and an elegant, time-softened finish.
