This Mallayer antique rug measures 137 x 201 cm and carries a layered floral composition with a pointed central medallion set within an intricate field. Soft muted blue, faded red, brown, and gold tones move through the design, from the dense inner ornament to the finely drawn border and corner elements. Circa 1925 - 1940, the rug shows medium distress, with visible fading and a softened, gently worn surface that brings forward its age and character. The overall effect is balanced, detailed, and quietly atmospheric. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
