Mahal / 12263

A faded Mahal woven in wool, the field articulated with large palmettes and cartouche motifs set against warm red and brown grounds. The floral border frames an all-over lattice of vines and stylised blooms, the pattern softened by time and use. Texture reads tactile and low, with medium distress revealing a layered, lived-in patina that emphasizes neutral highlights. This antique rug preserves a quiet, historic presence while the wear exposes nuanced abrash and wool tones. Circa 1890 - 1910. Exact measurement 10' 10" x 13' 3". The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
