Mahal / 26588

This Mahal antique rug measures 10' 6" x 24' 1" and carries a restrained, timeworn palette of ivory, cream, taupe, and muted blue-green. The all-over field is softened by high distress, allowing the floral and medallion forms to read like memory rather than outline. A faded border still frames the composition, while areas of wear and abrash give the surface a layered, quiet texture. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the nuanced, lived-in character associated with Mahal weaving, with a calm presence and deeply aged finish. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
