This Mahal antique rug measures 9' 11" x 17' 2", offering a long, room-spanning format with a quietly faded presence. The composition is anchored by a restrained central medallion, softened floral tracery, and a narrow border that still reads through layers of wear. Warm brown, cream, ivory, and muted grey tones settle into an atmospheric, timeworn field. Circa 1915 - 1930, the rug carries the patina of age with high distress, visible fading, and an overall mellowed surface that emphasizes texture over contrast. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
