A generous Mahal in wool with an expansive allover field of repeating palmettes and floral cartouches framed by layered borders. The surface carries a quiet, even fade and restrained abrash that softens the original palette of neutral grounds with green and blue accents. Texture remains supple underfoot, the weave exhibiting low visible wear and well-preserved edges. The composition reads as a considered balance of scale and detail, the motifs breathing across the long format. This antique rug measures 10' 0" x 17' 0" and retains a tactile presence that favors layered interiors. Circa 1885 - 1900.
