This Mallayer antique rug measures 97 x 526 cm and presents a long, elegant composition in neutral, brown and gold tones, with traces of muted aqua woven through the pattern. Medium distress has softened the surface, creating an atmospheric balance between worn openness and remaining detail. The field carries an all-over geometric floral repeat, framed by a narrow border that keeps the layout crisp even as the age shows. Circa 1895 - 1910, it offers the layered depth, restraint and heritage character often associated with a finely worn Mallayer. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
