This Mallayer antique rug measures 239 x 282 cm and offers a finely organised field of compartmented florals, enclosed by a geometric border and slender guard bands. Deep blue, moss green, ivory, rust, and faded pink move across the wool surface with a softened, time-worn clarity. The design feels balanced yet lively, with scrolling vine work and crisp structural outlines that have mellowed under age. Circa 1880 - 1910, this piece reflects the decorative richness often seen in Mallayer rugs, while low distress and gentle wear lend it a settled, textile presence.
