This Mallayer antique rug measures 147 x 185 cm and offers a gently faded, design-forward composition in cream, teal, and muted coral. The central field is arranged in repeated zigzag bands, enclosed by narrow borders with floral and vine ornament that soften the geometry with a more layered rhythm. Its low distress and aged surface create a calm, tactile finish, with worn areas that add character rather than interruption. Circa 1885 - 1900, it reflects the nuanced visual language of a well-aged antique rug, where pattern, colour, and patina settle into an understated harmony.
