This Mahal antique rug measures 8' 10" x 12' 1" and presents a softened, timeworn field of floral medallions, scrolling ornament, and a structured border that still reads with quiet clarity. The palette moves through neutral tones, blue, white, and cream, with traces of muted rose and brown emerging beneath the heavy patina. Its high distress gives the surface a washed, layered presence, where pattern and wear sit in balance. Circa 1900 - 1915, it carries the familiar refinement of Mahal design with an understated, lived-in atmosphere. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
