This Mallayer antique rug measures 193 x 505 cm, with an elongated proportion and a softly faded surface that brings the drawing close to abstraction. A traditional border in muted terracotta, cream, and beige frames the composition, while the centre carries washed blue-green notes and a pale ground shaped by age. The high distress is visible across the field, creating a tactile patina and a gently blurred rhythm through the design. Circa 1900 - 1930, it feels measured, weathered, and quietly expressive. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
