This Mahal antique rug, measuring 9' 7" x 12' 0", carries a quietly layered field of palmettes, stylised floral forms, and a narrow border that frames the composition with calm symmetry. The wool surface shows a softened hand, with cream and white ground tones warmed by gold and beige patterning. Its medium distress gives the design a diffused, atmospheric quality, where motifs appear and recede across the field. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the enduring balance of Mahal weaving, offering an antique rug presence that feels restrained, tactile, and well aged.
