Mahal / 21574

This Mahal antique rug measures 11' 9" x 16' 3" and carries the softened presence of years of careful use. The allover floral field sits within a traditional border, with palmettes, vines, and medallion accents rendered in muted red, brown, and neutral tones. Wool lends the surface a grounded hand, while pronounced distress and fading flatten the palette into a quiet, layered whole. Circa 1900 - 1930, it reads with the relaxed elegance that defines many late antique Mahal rugs, where pattern and wear meet in a balanced, atmospheric composition.
