This MALLAYER antique rug measures 99 x 382 cm, with an elongated field enclosed by a slender floral border and quiet geometric guard bands. The lattice motif is rendered in taupe and brown on an ivory ground, with softened rose and blush notes appearing in the border and at each end. Medium distress gives the piece a lived-in surface, with visible fading and wear that mellow the palette rather than obscure it. Circa 1910 - 1925, it offers the balanced composition and worn clarity that define this antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
