This Mallayer antique rug measures 153 x 520 cm and unfolds in a long, slender proportion, with a centred field of repeating floral medallions set within a finely outlined border. Neutral ivory is lifted by soft blue and slate blue, while charcoal details give the pattern definition against the softened ground. The overall effect is calm and architectural, with medium distress, gentle fading, and age-softened edges adding depth to the surface. Circa 1900 - 1930, it reflects the measured character and tactile patina that define a well-preserved antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
