A pared-back Mahal Sarouk in wool, rendered in a pale ivory and cream ground with neutral highlights and a subtly defined floral field. The all-over garden motif and guarded palmette border read as delicate and spare, softened by medium distress and an even, low-contrast abrash. The surface retains a tactile, slightly uneven pile that reveals warm threadbare tones and refined hand-drawn outlines. This antique rug, measuring 9' 4" x 16' 4", balances formal Persian vocabulary with a faded restraint, an architectural yet lived-in presence. Circa 1900 - 1920 The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
