This Mahal antique rug measures 8' 4" x 11' 0" and carries a softly worn field of rust red, cream, taupe, and muted blue. The composition is anchored by an allover floral layout, with rosettes and palmettes drifting across a faded ground and enclosed by a layered border that remains legible despite age. Its medium distress gives the surface a dry, timeworn presence, with visible fading and subtle colour variation that deepen the textile’s depth. Circa 1900 - 1930, this Mahal reads as grounded, nuanced, and quietly expressive. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
