Mahal / 11820

A worn cream border frames a dense, dark field of repeating floral latticework, a Mahal in soft, neutral tones. Woven in wool, the piece shows medium distress with even fading and visible abrash that highlights the original contrast between the ivory motifs and the deep brown ground. The large scale and tight repeat rosette network read as both geometric and organic, the pile worn to a tactile, low-sheen finish. This antique rug measures 10' 4" x 16' 10" and carries a quiet, storied presence, Circa 1910 - 1930, the sort of heritage piece that reads as material history as much as design.
