Mahal / 10989

A finely balanced Mahal in wool, this antique rug reads as an exercise in ordered ornament: a densely patterned floral lattice punctuated by curving palmettes and small rosettes. The field’s neutral ground gives way to crisp white and cream register lines, while accents of blue animate the repeat. Wear is modest and even, preserving a tactile pile and clear border definition. The composition feels both intimate and expansive at 9' 0" x 12' 1", a scale that reveals the careful rhythm of its motifs. Circa 1900 - 1920, this Mahal carries a quiet, crafted presence rooted in handwork and time.
