This Mallayer antique rug measures 264 x 500 cm and shows an allover floral lattice, gently muted by time into a richly balanced composition. Cream and white ground notes are worked with brown, muted rose, pale blue, and soft gold, while the broad floral border and narrow guards frame the field with clarity. The medium distress is visible in softened pattern definition and tonal fading, which add warmth and patina. Circa 1900 - 1925, it reflects the composed detail and aged surface associated with a finely worn antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
