This Mallayer antique rug measures 213 x 396 cm and has a quiet, worn elegance shaped by age. Woven in wool, it presents a faded field of muted blue-green, cream, and beige, with darker geometric registers emerging through the softened pile. The floral border remains legible, though gently weathered, giving the piece a balanced frame against the more diffuse centre. Circa 1880 - 1900, this Mallayer holds the layered patina and understated character that make an antique rug feel both grounded and visually nuanced. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
