Mahal / 29905

This Mahal antique rug measures 8' 6" x 11' 9" and carries a timeworn, layered surface that softens its classical floral structure. A faded blue border with rosette forms frames a largely washed neutral field, where rust and ivory register through a heavily distressed finish. The composition feels balanced yet quietly weathered, with blurred detail and abrash-like variation that give the piece depth and movement. Circa 1880 - 1900, it reflects the restrained elegance associated with Mahal weaving, translated here through a softened, atmospheric palette. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
