This Mahal antique rug measures 10' 6" x 15' 7", with a timeworn field of floral motifs softened into a restrained, atmospheric composition. The palette settles into cream, brown, neutral, and muted blue-green notes, with traces of rust peeking through the wear. A layered border frames the interior while the central field reads as elegantly faded and richly lived in. Circa 1885 - 1900, it carries the quiet depth and surface patina that define a well-aged wool rug with high distress. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
