Mahal / 18905

This Mahal antique rug measures 7' 10" x 11' 0" and presents a restrained, time-softened field of floral lattice and fine scrolling ornament. The composition is framed by layered borders, including a wider blue outer band that brings definition to the pale ground. Wool lends the surface a low, worn sheen, while the neutral palette of cream, blue, white, and soft grey reads with quiet depth. Areas of fading and visible wear contribute to its lived-in character. Circa 1905 - 1920, this piece reflects the elegant balance and subtle ornament associated with Mahal weaving.
