This Mallayer antique rug measures 199 x 283 cm and is composed in a softened palette of neutral brown, ivory and faded blue. The design centres on a large geometric medallion, set within a finely patterned lattice field and enclosed by narrow borders with small floral details. High distress has gently blurred the drawing, leaving a washed surface, subtle tonal variation, and timeworn edges that deepen its character. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reflects the quiet balance and patina associated with a well-aged antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
