Mahal / 18501

This Mahal antique rug, measuring 6' 7" x 10' 0", carries a timeworn floral field softened by age and use. Faded ivory ground tones mingle with blush red, muted olive, and pale grey, while the border and center motifs remain quietly legible beneath a heavily distressed surface. The design reads as layered and atmospheric rather than crisp, with worn areas that lend depth and restraint. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reflects the graceful decay and painterly character often sought in an antique rug, where pattern, patina, and wool texture settle into a subdued whole.
