This Mallayer antique rug measures 4' 7" x 9' 6" and presents a long, vertically composed field in muted blue, neutral ivory, and brown. Floral and geometric motifs interlace across the centre, while the border carries a more open botanical rhythm that softens the overall structure. The surface shows medium distress, with notable fading, abrasion, and a well-worn patina that lends the piece an easy, collected character. Circa 1905 - 1920, it reflects the refined layering and restrained colour balance that define the Mallayer tradition. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
