This Mallayer antique rug measures 224 x 528 cm and presents a long, vertical composition with an allover floral field gently restrained by a narrow border. Rust, brown, cream, and ivory tones sit within a heavily faded surface, where wear has softened the design into a layered, atmospheric field. The pattern remains legible but subdued, with broad abrasion and washed colour giving the rug its patina. Circa 1900 - 1920, it captures the quiet balance and timeworn presence often seen in a finely aged Mallayer. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
