Mahal / 19601

This Mahal antique rug measures 8' 0" x 11' 5" and carries the quiet depth of age in its softened palette and heavily worn surface. A rust-toned field is layered with cream, ivory, and muted brown floral ornament, while the border holds the composition with darker, more grounded detail. The overall effect is faded yet legible, with broad areas of abrasion that create a luminous, timeworn finish. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the restrained elegance and painterly density often associated with Mahal rugs, offering a composition that feels both weathered and composed.
