This Mallayer antique rug measures 218 x 447 cm and offers a softly faded composition of florals, scrolling vines, and layered medallion motifs. The border is finely articulated yet subdued, framing an ivory ground touched by faded aqua, blush pink, rust, and muted grey. Across the centre, the pattern has been gracefully worn into a more atmospheric, painterly whole, with light abrash and age-softened detail giving the surface depth. Circa 1915 - 1930, it reflects the quiet complexity and worn charm associated with an antique rug of this kind. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
