Mahal / 32730

This Mahal antique rug measures 12' 2" x 18' 8" and presents a richly layered field of repeating floral motifs, wrapped in a bold navy border with palmettes and scrolling details. The rust-red ground is softened by extensive wear, creating a chalked, timeworn surface that lets the lighter tones come forward in nuanced contrast. Multiple borders lend structure without interrupting the rhythm of the design, while the overall composition remains balanced and deeply textural. Circa 1910 - 1925, it carries the weathered elegance and grounded palette that define the appeal of an antique rug.
