Mahal / 19584

This Mahal antique rug in wool measures 9' 11" x 13' 11" and presents a beautifully worn field of muted rust, brown, cream, and white. The design centers on a softened medallion surrounded by floral arabesques, palmettes, and a detailed border that still reads with quiet clarity despite the high distress. Its surface carries generous fading and an atmospheric, timeworn finish that lends depth to the composition. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the settled elegance and layered ornament associated with Mahal weaving, with a palette that has mellowed into a calm, earthy register.
