Mahal / 11071

A quietly luminous Mahal, sketched in soft creams and faded reds on a wool ground. The all-over floral arabesque reads like a well-worn fresco, its palmettes and scrolling vines held in a broad flowering border. Surface wear and abrash have lifted the field to a pale, tactile neutrality while isolated rust and muted teal accents remain. The hand of age is visible but elegant; the weave reads as an antique rug with a lived-in patina and measured distress. Circa 1900 - 1920. Dimensions: 10' 3" x 12' 11". The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
