Mahal / 19036

This Mahal antique rug measures 8' 10" x 11' 8" and carries a delicately worn, layered surface in ivory, cream, taupe, and muted terracotta. The allover floral field is framed by a refined border, with scrolling vines and palmette forms that read softly through the high distress. Wool gives the rug a gentle, tactile hand, while the faded palette creates a quiet, atmospheric presence. Circa 1925 - 1940, it reflects the relaxed elegance associated with classic Mahal weaving, where ornament and age settle into one another with grace. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
