Mahal / 19837

This Mahal antique rug measures 10' 11" x 17' 0" and carries the layered patina that gives older weavings their depth. A faded rose field is worked with blue floral ornament, softened cream highlights, and a moody border that frames the composition without overwhelming it. The design reads as graceful and timeworn, with visible abrasion and uneven fading that bring out the wool’s tactile character. Circa 1915 - 1930, it offers the balanced irregularity and quiet richness associated with Mahal weaving, where pattern, colour, and wear sit in considered harmony.
