This Mahal antique rug measures 8' 7" x 16' 2", with an expansive field of layered floral latticework softened by age. Deep teal, olive, muted rose, and brown tones sit against a neutral ground, while the borders retain a quieter, timeworn rhythm. The surface shows medium distress, with visible fading, abrasion, and irregular wear that deepens its tactile character. Circa 1920 - 1940, it carries the grounded elegance associated with the Mahal tradition, where dense ornament and softened colour resolve into a composition that feels both structured and atmospheric. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
