This Mallayer antique rug, measuring 330 x 384 cm, is composed with a deep navy centre, ivory ground accents, and restrained notes of brown, green, and teal. A large stepped medallion shape sits within a field of small-scale ornament, while the corners and borders introduce floral vine detail and layered framing. The result is formal yet relaxed, with visible age softening the tones and giving the design a settled presence. Circa 1895 - 1910, it reflects the nuanced palette and timeworn character often sought in a Mallayer antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
