This Mahal antique rug measures 10' 7" x 16' 10", with a timeworn surface that brings depth to its intricate floral field. Layers of palmettes, vines, and scrolling ornament sit within a narrow, framed border system, all softened by a muted palette of cream, white, brown, and washed aqua. The composition feels dense yet airy, with visible fading and abrasion that temper the pattern into a refined, quiet finish. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reads as collected and lived-with, offering an understated sense of age and texture. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
