This Mallayer antique rug measures 104 x 460 cm and carries a long, slender format with an allover floral field softened by age. The palette shifts through ivory, taupe, brown, muted teal, and soft grey, giving the surface a nuanced, timeworn depth. A narrow patterned border and repeating guard bands frame the composition, while the interior motifs remain gently blurred by medium wear and fading. Circa 1885 - 1900, this Mallayer has the quiet rhythm and worn elegance of a well-used antique rug, where patina, texture, and faded colour shape the overall character as much as the design itself.
