Mahal / 10384

This Mahal is an antique rug woven in wool, a measured presence at 8' 10" x 12' 4". The cream field carries a disciplined pattern of linked palmettes and stylised floral medallions, their brown outlines and softened white highlights giving disciplined contrast. Multiple borders frame the field with dense, geometric florals that read like a worn manuscript. Surface wear is modest, preserving the rug's textured hand and clear motifs while allowing a soft patina to develop. Circa 1900 - 1920, the piece reads as a restrained, tactile example of Mahal design and craft.
