This Mallayer antique rug measures 312 x 462 cm and presents a softly worn palette of cream, brown, muted teal, rust, and grey. Its layout centres on a faded field with floral medallion motifs, enclosed by layered border bands that remain legible despite years of wear. Circa 1900 - 1915, the surface shows medium distress, with visible fading, softened patterning, and lightly abraded edges that enhance its aged character. The result is a quietly grounded piece with a nuanced, atmospheric finish. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
