A soft, faded blue Mahal woven in wool, this antique rug presents an all-over field of floral palmettes and leafy medallions set within a rust-toned foliate border. Time has soothed the palette to cool blue and cream highs with neutral ground notes; areas of abrash and medium wear reveal a layered surface and tactile patina. The scale reads generous at 9' 2" x 11' 10" and the composition remains balanced despite losses, suggesting careful domestic use. Circa 1900 - 1920, the piece carries the quiet presence of age and the craft of traditional Mahal weaving.
