About the Item
This hand-knotted wool rug belongs to the classic room-size category and reflects late-19th-century village production traditions associated with the broader Mahal weaving region. Woven on a cotton foundation with a medium knot density (approximately 100–150 KPSI), it features a cut wool pile of moderate height and weight, offering a balanced combination of substance and flexibility. The materials and structure are consistent with rugs produced in this period, valued for their durability and refined but approachable craftsmanship rather than extreme fineness.
The design is an allover floral composition without a central medallion, organized in a dense, repeating lattice that creates visual continuity across the field. A single wide main border frames the composition, supported by narrow inner and outer guard borders. The palette is anchored by an earthy red field, softened by visible abrash that introduces gentle tonal variation along the length. Cream accents in the border provide contrast, while muted blues and warm camel tones articulate the floral motifs, resulting in a harmonious, moderately saturated color relationship.
Structurally, the rug employs symmetrical knotting and a moderately depressed warp, producing a pile that feels resilient yet supple underfoot. The handle and drape are medium, with a matte-to-soft luster typical of antique wool. This construction supports use in low- to medium-traffic settings such as living rooms, studies, dining rooms, or bedrooms, especially when paired with a quality felt or felt-rubber pad for cushioning and protection.
From a professional design perspective, this piece integrates easily into traditional, transitional, and layered eclectic interiors. Its balanced proportions and non-directional pattern allow flexible placement under seating groups or dining tables, while the red-based palette complements woods, leathers, and neutral upholstery. High rarity and strong value-retention characteristics also make it suitable for projects where longevity and collectibility matter.
Condition is consistent with a well-preserved antique example. The pile shows even wear with no visible stains or color run in the documented areas, selvedges remain intact, and there are no apparent structural compromises. As with all antique wool rugs, careful cleaning, avoidance of high alkalinity solutions, and testing for dye stability are recommended to ensure continued preservation.
