Mahal / 20950

This Mahal antique rug, 7' 9" x 12' 8", carries an all-over floral field softened by age into a quiet, atmospheric composition. Brown and cream tones are lifted by white fading and subtle grey notes, while the border holds the design in a worn but legible frame. The surface shows high distress, with expansive abrasion and a gently erased quality that lends depth rather than loss. Circa 1900 - 1920, it feels grounded, textural, and refined in its restraint, a wool rug with the kind of weathered elegance that reveals pattern through patina.
