Mahal / 15602

This Mahal antique rug measures 10' 7" x 12' 4" and carries a timeworn, layered presence in wool. A faded central field opens into dense floral ornament, while the border holds a quieter rhythm of repeating motifs in cream, brown, and muted blue. The surface shows medium distress, with broad areas of wear and sun-faded variation that flatten some passages and deepen others. Circa 1880 - 1900, it feels grounded and tactile, with the softened elegance that defines a well-aged Mahal. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
