This Mallayer antique rug measures 91 x 498 cm and presents as a long, gently faded runner with an understated, heritage-rich surface. Cream, ivory, muted beige, and soft sage tones settle into a pale, weathered ground, where the central field still hints at a floral arrangement softened by time. A narrow inner line and worn geometric border remain visible, giving structure to the length of the composition. Circa 1885 - 1900, it shows pronounced abrasion and mellow fading throughout, creating a calm, finely aged texture that feels balanced and quietly resolved.
