This Mallayer antique rug measures 11' 9" x 15' 7", with a timeworn composition that balances an airy, faded centre with a more defined floral border. The palette moves through neutral brown, cream, white, and softened teal, with rust traces that surface through the wear. Its high distress creates a washed, layered effect, allowing the original pattern to emerge and recede in equal measure. Circa 1915 - 1940, it carries the quiet depth and tactile softness that define a well-aged Mallayer. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
