Mahal / 28426

This Mahal antique rug measures 10' 6" x 13' 1", with a pale ground softened by layers of cream, faded blush, sand, and muted blue. The field carries a worn central medallion and floral tracery that drift in and out of view, creating a quietly luminous, lived-in character. A botanical border frames the composition with the same faded restraint, while the high distress lends the whole piece a washed, almost parchment-like presence. Circa 1900 - 1920, it feels balanced between structure and erasure, with the kind of surface depth that rewards a slower look.
