This Mallayer antique rug measures 165 x 437 cm and carries a calm palette of blue, cream, and muted beige through an elongated field. Its design is built from an allover geometric lattice, floral medallions, and a slim repeating border, creating a balanced and ordered composition. Medium wear is visible in the softened drawing and gently faded surface, which add texture and atmosphere rather than distraction. Circa 1885 - 1900, it reflects the tonal restraint and timeworn character that give Mallayer rugs their enduring appeal. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
