Mahal / 27607

This Mahal antique rug, 6' 4" x 16' 2", carries a softly faded field of floral and geometric ornament in layered neutral, cream, and brown tones. The elongated composition is framed by restrained borders, while the allover drawing has mellowed into a gentle, timeworn rhythm. High distress lends the surface a washed, tactile presence with areas of abrasion and light edge wear that heighten its character. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reads as an antique rug with quiet depth and an understated, heritage-minded palette. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
