This Mallayer antique rug, measuring 244 x 282 cm, is shaped by a weathered surface where brown and charcoal settle into taupe and ivory. The composition is defined by a faded central medallion and a worn border in muted rust, with geometric detailing that survives in soft relief. Broad areas of distress, fading, and tonal variation give the rug a layered, timeworn presence. Circa 1885 - 1900, it offers the look of an aged Mallayer with a restrained palette and a quietly architectural feel. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
