This Mallayer antique rug measures 196 x 300 cm and carries a restrained palette of ivory, beige, taupe, charcoal and muted sky blue. Its field is markedly worn, with geometric medallion remnants and lattice-like patterning emerging through the faded surface, while the surrounding borders hold their structure with a quieter clarity. Repeating tribal motifs and narrow guard bands lend balance and detail to the composition. Circa 1915 - 1940, it reads as a layered antique rug with softened colour, visible age and an understated graphic presence. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
