This Mallayer antique rug measures 305 x 396 cm and presents a subdued palette of brown, cream, taupe, and faded blue-grey. The composition is defined by an allover field of small floral motifs, enclosed by a series of geometric borders that bring structure to the softened patterning. Medium wear is visible across the surface, with even fading and abrasion that temper the design and reveal its age gracefully. Circa 1890 - 1905, it has the calm density and layered warmth associated with a well-kept antique rug, where muted colour and timeworn texture remain central to its appeal.
