This Mallayer antique rug measures 104 x 401 cm and reads with a refined, elongated composition, where repeating floral forms, diamond lattice details, and a narrow border unfold across a softened ground. The colour story is grounded in ivory, muted teal, slate blue, and faded taupe, with medium distress lending the surface a subdued, textural quality. Wear has mellowed the drawing without erasing its rhythm. Circa 1915 - 1930, it offers the quiet character and visual depth associated with an aged Mallayer. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
