This Mallayer antique rug measures 132 x 198 cm and is woven in wool with a gentle palette of cream, ivory, and warm beige. The allover field is densely patterned with small geometric repeats, creating a layered, time-softened surface, while the border offers a steady frame with subtle decorative rhythm. Medium distress gives the piece a tactile, worn-in presence, with faded definition and softened edges that speak to age. Circa 1880 - 1900, it reflects the calm, heritage-led character associated with a finely composed antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
