This Mahal antique rug, measuring 8' 6" x 11' 5", carries a softly faded palette of cream, ivory, rose, and muted teal across an allover floral field. The border remains legible but subdued, framing a composition that feels atmospheric rather than rigid. Areas of high wear have lifted the colour and softened the drawing, creating a luminous, timeworn surface with visible patina throughout. Circa 1900 - 1930, it offers the kind of depth and restraint that comes from age, where pattern, abrasion, and quiet colour settle into balance. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
