Mahal / 24177

This Mahal antique rug measures 9' 11" x 13' 10" and carries a quietly layered, timeworn surface in neutral, white, cream, and brown tones with touches of muted red. Its floral field and bordered frame are softened by pronounced wear, leaving the pattern atmospheric rather than sharply defined. The composition reads with depth and restraint, balancing faded ornament with a well-aged patina. Circa 1900 - 1940, it reflects the enduring appeal of the Mahal tradition through a more subdued, collected expression, with the visual texture of an antique rug that has been lived with and deeply mellowed by time.
