Mahal / 19231

This Mahal antique rug measures 5' 4" x 6' 9" and carries a layered, timeworn surface that softens its floral ornament into an atmospheric field of teal, indigo, rust, and ivory. The composition balances a dense allover pattern with narrow, repeating borders, giving the piece a measured frame around its worn interior. Wool pile and visible fading lend depth, while areas of abrasion and tonal shift add to its lived-in character. Circa 1920 - 1935, it reflects the relaxed elegance associated with Mahal weaving, where color and pattern dissolve into a quietly expressive whole.
