Mahal / 28543

This Mahal antique rug, measuring 10' 0" x 13' 7", is rendered in a restrained wash of cream, white, faded blush, taupe, and muted blue-grey. The allover floral lattice settles into rounded medallions, framed by a softly detailed border that still reads with quiet clarity beneath the wear. High distress has flattened the palette into a painterly surface, with visible fading and abrasion that lend depth rather than distraction. Circa 1900 - 1920, it carries the hushed, time-softened character that defines the most appealing antique rugs. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
