This Mallayer antique rug, measuring 3' 0" x 16' 1", presents a long, narrow field of layered floral geometry in deep blue, ivory, and softened rust tones. A dense repeat of medallion-like forms and angular blossoms runs through the centre, framed by a restrained border that keeps the composition balanced and elegant. The surface shows clear age, with visible fading, abrasion, and worn areas that mute the palette and reveal the rug’s history. Circa 1885 - 1900, it carries the quiet depth and textural variation that define a lived-in Mallayer piece.
