This Mahal antique rug measures 8' 7" x 11' 9" and presents a richly worn field of brick red, faded turquoise, rust, and indigo. The balanced composition is anchored by a large central medallion, framed by scrolling floral motifs and a finely worked border that still reads clearly despite the softened pile. Its low distress gives the surface a quiet, timeworn patina rather than heavy loss. Circa 1920 - 1940, this wool Mahal carries the layered ornament and warm coloration that define the category, with a grounded presence shaped by age and gentle fade.
