This Mallayer antique rug measures 152 x 284 cm and offers a densely worked floral field set within a restrained border layout. Ivory, faded red, brown, and deep navy create a layered, time-softened palette, while the stepped central medallion and scrolling vine forms give the design a measured rhythm. The surface shows low distress, with gentle fading and lived-in edge character that deepen its understated presence. Circa 1880 - 1900, it reflects the quiet complexity and heritage atmosphere associated with a finely made Mallayer antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
