This Mallayer antique rug, measuring 6' 10" x 16' 9", presents a finely worked allover field softened by age and woven in a restrained palette of ivory, taupe, brown, and muted gold. Layered borders with repeating geometric medallions frame the composition, while the centre settles into a quiet, dense lattice that feels both ordered and worn. Visible abrasion and gentle fading lend the surface a matte, timeworn character. Circa 1900 - 1920, it carries the calm, collected presence that defines a well-preserved antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
