Mahal / 32158

This Mahal antique rug measures 7' 6" x 16' 2" and carries a beautifully softened field of faded floral detail within a worn, rectilinear border. The palette settles into neutral, white, cream, and brown tones, creating a quiet, layered surface with a dry, timeworn texture. Broad areas of loss in pattern reading and high distress give it a washed, almost textural abstraction while preserving the structure of the original design. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the enduring elegance associated with Mahal weaving, with an understated presence shaped by age and use.
