This Mahal antique rug measures 312 x 518 cm and shows the calm, faded character of a finely detailed formal design. An understated central medallion sits within an allover floral field, then resolves into a border of softened red, blue, and ivory ornament. The colour story is muted and atmospheric, with warm grey, pale blue, taupe, and washed rose tones spread across the surface. Circa 1900 - 1930, its high distress level gives the rug an openly timeworn feel, with pattern and patina blending into one another. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
