This Mallayer antique rug, measuring 183 x 328 cm, is woven in a pale palette of ivory, cream, soft blue, charcoal, and warm gold. A disciplined geometric field fills the centre, while the border system adds balance through small floral motifs and diagonal banding at the outer edge. The surface shows medium distress, with softened colour and gentle wear that lend depth to the design rather than diminishing it. Circa 1925 - 1940, it offers the composed presence and patina associated with a considered antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
