This Mallayer antique rug measures 102 x 168 cm and carries a layered palette of blue, rust, cream, white, and neutral tones softened by age. Its design centres on small-scale geometric and floral motifs, framed by several narrow borders that remain legible through the wear. The wool surface shows moderate distress, with fading and abrasion lending a muted, weathered character across the field. Circa 1900 - 1925, it reflects the grounded clarity and tactile patina associated with an antique rug of enduring decorative presence. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
