Mahal / 18316

This Mahal antique rug, 10' 5" x 16' 8", carries a softly faded field where floral ornament and a restrained medallion emerge through layers of wear. The palette reads in rust, blush, taupe, dusty teal, and ivory, with the border still holding a finer decorative rhythm than the centre. High distress has produced a worn, luminous surface and a gentle, time-softened hand. Circa 1910 - 1925, it reflects the quiet depth and visual complexity that define a well-aged Mahal, balancing structure and erosion in equal measure. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
