This Mahal antique rug in wool measures 9' 10" x 13' 0", with a timeworn presence shaped by layered floral design and deeply softened colour. The field reads as a faded conversation of slate blue, taupe, ivory, and muted sage, while the border holds the composition with a quieter, more defined cadence. Visible wear has flattened the pile and blurred the pattern into a painterly surface, creating depth through age rather than contrast. Circa 1905 - 1920, it carries the calm elegance and lived-in character that distinguish the most atmospheric antique rugs.
