This Mahal antique rug measures 9' 8" x 16' 3" and carries a layered, timeworn presence in neutral, cream, and white tones. The design reads as a softened allover field, with faint floral structure and a subtle border emerging through years of wear. High distress has blurred the pattern into a painterly surface, where abrasion, fading, and tonal variation create depth rather than decoration. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reflects the quiet restraint and weathered character that define a well-aged Mahal. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
