Mahal / 16683

This Mahal antique rug, measuring 11' 9" x 17' 2", carries an allover field of repeated rosettes and floral lattice work, framed by layered borders that remain visible through the wear. The palette moves between brown, cream, white, and muted teal, with rust notes in the border and a gently faded ground that gives the design its softened depth. Wool lends the surface a tactile, lived-in character, while the medium distress level adds nuance without losing the rhythm of the drawing. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reads with quiet age and an atmospheric, timeworn balance.
