This Mahal antique rug, measuring 9' 11" x 18' 7", carries a softly eroded allover field where the original floral language lingers beneath layers of wear. Neutral, white, and cream tones are crossed by taupe, grey, and muted blue notes, giving the surface a restrained, atmospheric depth. The border is only partially legible, with pattern loss that enhances the rug’s quiet, timeworn presence. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the beauty of age through a highly distressed finish and a washed, tactile patina. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
