A Mahal woven in wool with a soft neutral field and a warm rust-red outer border enlivened by pale blue accents. The allover geometric lattice and restrained medallion vocabulary read through a sun-faded ground, the pattern softened by medium distress and subtle abrash that give a satiny surface. Floral palmettes and angular motifs remain visible beneath the wear, offering layered colour and tactile interest. This antique rug carries honest edge character and a quiet, aged presence. Circa 1885 - 1905. Dimensions: 9' 11" x 13' 10". The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
