Distressed Antique Mahal Carpet

19th century

Sold by Farnham Antique Carpets

Description

This is a very beautiful and distressed antique Mahal carpet, with the hard to find ivory background colour. Using wonderful pale blues, greens, golds and pinks for the all over palmette and vine design. A deep blue border is a great contrasting colour to the ivory off-white background.

Condition is distressed and worn in many areas, it is in good structural order with no holes or tears. We rarely hold distressed antique carpets in our inventory, unless they are early and decorative items. Our underlay would aid the carpets condition greatly, as it stops the carpet moving around on the floor adding body to it.
