This Mahal antique rug measures 218 x 566 cm, with an elongated profile and a palette of ivory, cream, warm beige, and faded sage. Its floral border, narrow guard bands, and densely patterned field remain visible beneath a time-softened surface, giving the piece a layered, painterly character. High distress has mellowed the contrast and blurred the ornament, allowing the design to feel hushed yet detailed. The overall effect is grounded and heritage-led, with a naturally worn finish. Circa 1915 - 1930. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
