This Mahal antique rug, measuring 9' 0" x 11' 9", carries a timeworn field of softened florals and a restrained border in cream, brown, rust, and muted teal. The composition feels layered and airy, with traditional motifs that have blurred into a quiet, painterly surface through age and wear. Circa 1900 - 1915, it shows medium distress, with visible fading and abrasion that lend depth rather than severity. The result is a rug with an understated palette and an easy sense of history, balanced between formal structure and softened patina.
