This Mallayer antique rug measures 262 x 414 cm and balances a dense decorative field with a strong central diamond form, surrounded by scrolling floral detail and a finely worked border. The colour story blends neutral shades with blue, white, and cream, then deepens into rust and brown notes across the aged surface. Circa 1920 - 1940, it shows a medium level of distress, with softened pattern definition, visible fading, and gentle wear that contributes to its layered, timeworn character. The result is a rug with a quiet richness and a grounded, heritage-led presence.
