Mahal / 11021

A large Mahal in soft, washed blues and cream, this wool antique rug reads like a weathered heirloom. The central medallion and arabesque motifs float against a muted blue field, while a wide floral border retains warmer neutral accents. Surface abrasion and even fading have softened the pattern into a layered, tactile patina; the palette shifts gently with abrash and low pile. The piece measures 8' 9" x 11' 11" and shows characteristic medium distress that emphasizes age and hand. Circa 1900 - 1930, the rug balances architectural formality with a relaxed, lived-in texture.
