This Mallayer antique rug measures 8' 8" x 16' 5" and presents an allover floral lattice softened by age into a nuanced, layered field. The creamy ground is animated with brown, muted rose, pale blue, and soft gold accents, while the broad border holds the composition with larger floral forms and crisp guard lines. Its medium distress gives the surface a weathered calm, with faded passages that lend depth rather than interruption. Circa 1910 - 1930, it carries the settled character and restrained elegance that define a well-preserved antique rug.
