This Mallayer antique rug measures 160 x 292 cm and combines a timeworn field with a darker, more concentrated central band that anchors the composition. Woven in wool, it brings together cream, beige, brown and muted sage notes, with a softened, heritage-minded finish. The border is finely worked with geometric and floral detailing, while the field alternates between open, faded sections and tighter pattern. Circa 1900 - 1920, it carries medium wear, gentle fading and the kind of surface character that gives the rug its calm, lived-in presence. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
