This Mallayer antique rug measures 102 x 356 cm and offers a narrow, elongated format with a faded red ground framed by a delicate border of ivory, brown, and muted blue floral detail. The central field remains understated, marked by a small diamond medallion and a softened, timeworn surface that allows the design to read with quiet clarity. Medium distress, visible fading, and lightly frayed ends contribute to its aged character. Circa 1925 - 1940, it reflects the heritage look and worn elegance associated with a Mallayer. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
