This Mallayer antique rug measures 97 x 483 cm and brings a slender, elongated format with a quietly structured rhythm. A sequence of medallions moves through the centre, set against angular florals and a fine geometric border that feels balanced and restrained. Cream, ivory, beige, faded teal, and muted blue sit over deeper, softened notes, creating a layered and weathered palette. Circa 1885 - 1900, the rug shows medium distress, with visible fading and wear that lend the field a mellow, timeworn quality. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
