This Mallayer antique rug measures 414 x 505 cm and presents a finely muted field of floral latticework, balanced by a central diamond medallion and narrow borders worked with small blossoms. The composition feels measured and collected, with the pattern softened into a layered surface of brown, cream, ivory, grey, muted blue, and faded rust. Circa 1885 - 1900, it reflects medium distress, with visible fading and age-worn areas that lend the piece its quiet depth. The overall effect is heritage-rich and tactile, with ornament that remains readable despite the softened finish.
