This Mahal antique rug measures 6' 8" x 10' 5" and presents a weathered field of deep blue-grey set against coral, cream, and softened terracotta accents. A layered floral composition rises through the centre, with urn-like forms and scattered blossoms surrounded by a dense floral border that gently frames the whole. The surface shows medium distress, with a timeworn patina, visible fading, and nuanced tonal shifts that add depth rather than distraction. Circa 1880 - 1900, it carries the grounded elegance and softened contrast that define a well-aged Mahal. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
