Mahal / 20405

This Mahal antique rug, 11' 6" x 22' 0", carries a washed, time-softened field in faded blue, cream, and muted red, with layered floral and vine motifs that read almost like a painted surface. A worn border frames the composition with quieter neutral tones, allowing the central pattern to settle into a calm, atmospheric rhythm. The wool pile shows medium distress, visible fading, and the kind of patina that comes with long use. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the generous scale and restrained ornament associated with Mahal design while remaining visually airy and tactile.
