This antique Mahal village rug has that easy, lived in confidence that only comes with age and honest use. It’s nicely love worn, with a low pile and scattered wear that shows its history without taking away from its strength or charm. Handwoven with vegetable dyed wool, the colors have mellowed beautifully over time, settling into a soft, grounded palette that feels natural and unfussy.
The field features an all over floral design set against a rhubarb ground, giving the rug a cozy, welcoming presence without feeling loud. The border bands are a standout, with winding blossom laden vines moving along a charcoal ground, adding contrast and just enough structure to frame the design.
This piece has a floppy handle, making it easy to work with and perfect for relaxed spaces where you want character without stiffness. The subdued natural dyes read calm and earthy, and they’ll continue to wear gracefully. A great choice for someone who appreciates authentic age, texture, and a rug that feels comfortable being lived on rather than tiptoed around.
Handwoven with vegetable dyed wool.
