This Mallayer antique rug measures 175 x 391 cm and features a softly layered field of scrolling floral forms, framed by a restrained border that gives the composition structure. The palette balances brown, cream, white, and muted teal, with visible fading and wear that soften the motifs into a calm, textural surface. Circa 1900 - 1915, it carries the character of age throughout, with broad abrasion and a gently worn hand to the overall appearance. The result is a rug with depth, restraint, and an understated historical presence. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
