Mahal / 11739

A Mahal runner in a deep indigo field, 3' 7" x 11' 3", where linked lozenge medallions progress down the length. Pale blues, cream and neutral accents articulate stylised floral and angular botanical forms against the navy ground, contained by a slender ivory guard border. The wool pile retains clarity of pattern with low, even wear that softens edges and reveals gentle abrash in the blues, producing a quietly collected surface. Read as an antique rug of measured geometry and tactile presence, the piece balances structural repeat with painterly colour shifts. Circa 1900 - 1915
